Hi all. As a new member. Could anyone advise or show any 100hp's on 17's. I was looking to add the 17 abarth multi spoke wheels from the 500 onto my recently bought red 100hp. I know the pcd is identical and 5mm difference on offset, just wondering if 17's are a bit extreme. any advise would be much appreciated.

Hello and welcome to the forum
Have a read of the following thread:

Personally, I wouldn't change from 15's.

17's should fit as i tried a 19inch on the back of my 100hp and was just to big, so should be ok but you will loose performance with bigger wheels i even noticed wen put 17's on a more powerful car than the 100hp, but if you just wont the look then, 'get on it like a car bonnet' haha
It might 'look good'. But you will ruin the handling and the ride quality to boot. The car will be less progressive and seeing as it has a relatively short wheelbase that is not generally a great idea.
Not a fan of oversized wheels tbh.

Are there any problems of clearance in the off-side rear wheelarch where the fuel filler pipe runs?
I'm not even sure about that. I think the standard wheels look good, and I don't think a bigger wheel would look right.

In theory no, as long as you run wheels and tyres no wider than 195. But you'd need to find 195/30-17 or even 195/25-17 tyres. Good luck with that and good luck finding a place that'll be able to mount them. No matter what, it'll be hugely expensive.
The end result will be a crap ride, crap handling and looking extremely silly.

It'll probably look like this....

Thanks for that - I'm quite happy with the 15s but I just wondered as anything marginal in that area is a bit dodgy, presumably you'd have to be sure that the offset was right to maintain clearance (as well as geometry).
