Styling 169 with Lancia Wheels.

The Pretender · May 29, 2013

So Lancia wheels almost ready for mounting under the 169.

Wheels are 6x15" Offset 40 with 195/50 R15 Dunlop BluResponse tires.

To mount the wheels, 12mm spacers are necessary to compensate for the high 40mm offset and the wide 195/50R15" tires, they stick out nicely and will protect the rim. (1/2 inch per side)
Without the spacers they will not clear on the rear and front insides.
Have no idea yet how wide they will be compared to the arches.
All this is one big experiment.

Here a picture of the Matte Black powder coated wheels.

They most likely are Delta wheels but where found under a Dedra.

Later Delta models had them in 7x15" with ET/Offset 27.

Based on that site, my wheels are: Integrale 8v wheel antraciet, 15"x6J ET 40.

The Integrale 16v had the 7x15" ET 27.

Waiting for the wheel bolts to arrive.
With some luck i can mount them next Friday if i have the time.

So, it took some time but the Lancia wheels are on.

Specs: wheels 6x15", offset 40, tire size 195/50R15" and 12mm spacers.

Pictures will follow ASAP.

Nice, but they don't have the caliper cleavage of my Punto wheels!

As for sticking out.........hmmm. Unless my maths is wrong, the rim of your wheels will stick out LESS by around 4mm.

The standard 6.5" wheel sticks out 52.55mm from the hub and yours will stick out 48.2mm from hub.

Calculation below:

Normal 6.5" wheel depth = 165.1mm wide
Lancia 6" wheel depth = 152.4mm wide

Normal wheel face to hub = (165.1/2) - 30 = 52.55 mm
Lancia wheel face to hub = (152.4/2) -40 +12 = 48.2 mm

Tires on the front are as wide as the fender.
Rear tires are different compare to left and right.

Looks like the rear axle is not in the middle of the car.

Left rear tire is closer to the fender then right rear tire.

Mmm, Hyena

Drive has improved significantly with the 195/50R15" tires over the 155/80R13".
Steering response is more directly, more go-kart like.
Also overall grip has improved.
