Only joking anyway Matt you can get both for your car but what ever you do make sure the centre hole matches the stilo hub OK oh and you can also get a spacer that converts you bolts to studs and nuts OK anyway its time you were on your way home isnt it all this overtime will ware you out

i learned this one recentley , there is crap one, expensive ones, alright ones,
theres hubcentric, non - hubcentric, universal non hubcentric
and car specific hub centric and non lol

Oi stop confusing him you Glitter gal

lol soz! im just happy i understand now

my blonde version of the low down.

hubcentrics have a lip to fit your cars hubspecificall so there for are the safest

non hubcentrics dont ( obivously) but the can be car specific ie fit your stud pattern perfectly.

universals have loads of holes n are confusing as *** to put on!

crappy one can rust and crack ( very not safe) but good ones can cost a packet!

see im not just glitter!!

Oh yes you are

best type are hubcentric as these fit your centre bore size and are bolted into the holes where your wheel studs go.your wheels then bolt into the spacer.
depends how wide a spacer your going really as if its only a few mm then standard spacers are fine. although centre bore size is something to consider

I purchased a set (four) of 30mm FK Automotive spacers which cost just over £200 delivered so i could fit Strada Abarth 130TC wheels on my CInq

I would agree with Custard hear for safety reasons alone but it isnt easy to locate the hubcentric spacers for the Stilo unless you may be able to use alfa ones but then you are back to the 4x98 pcd Matt

Well we'll see if i need them first, they guy said maybe 5mm to stop rubbing on full lock, i guess i'll just go into it more if the problem arises

Cheers for your help people

post up the wheel specs

Well thats the huge link to the ones im buying, dont know if that gives you the necessary info you need?

http://www.alloywheels.com/product....ny&PT_ID=all&Make=Fiat&Model=Stilo&strSize=18

100pcd and et 45.do you know the stilo standard offset?

also your entitled to 5% forum discount

er i know its 98pcd but thats all i know..........i did ask about discount but the bloke hadnt heard of giving discount to fiatforum members, he did give me my tyre upgrade for free tho

pcd is handled via wobbly bolts but the offset is what relates to needing/not needing spacers

Hi guys just logged in been watchin the two Ronnies anyroad the standard offset for the 1.6 on the 15" wheel is ET43 and on the 17" wheel that Matt has now is Et41 but on the 18" wheel well your guess is as good as mine I spos 41 would do it though and if he has rubbing stick an extra 10mm on the track
