I have been offered a great set of 14" wheels shod with new 175/65 R14 winters. They are off a 500, and my car is a Panda mjet.
I already run 14"s on the Panda, off a Punto originally, but not 175/65's.

Anyone run 175/65's on their Panda? Will Fiat 500 wheels fit?

Hi. Agree that offset is a proper issue worthy of note

However 175/65 is far from wild.. our 1.1 has gone further than that.. budget all rounders. Ex punto 1.9.. been on a marea diesel estate too.

Geometry of the panda SHOULD be a lot closer to a 500 than a punto also.. ;)

Looks like they should fit with no issues.
My friend Mr. Google tells me that the 500, whatever the model and wheel/tyre combo, uses 35ET throughout.

The 169 Panda has a variety of wheel/tyre combos, and various offsets. The 1.2 petrol can wear a 175/65 14 tyre with an ET of 35, although this is not listed for the Multijet.

Worth a punt, so I'll give it a go.

Yes, definitely and without problems - I put my 500 set on the Panda last time I took it for a tyre change (so that I could carry the Panda tyres in the boot & keep the tyre fitters as far away from the car as possible ;)). The wheel bolts are also identical.
 
My local independent tyre fitter (Teign Tyres) always uses a torque wrench on the wheel bolts. His prices are good and he's always busy which says a lot.

No complaints. Top bloke.

Mine does this too. I run Summer and Winter wheels so I'm up with them at least twice a year for changeover. Charges minimal amount. Well worth it. :D
