Hi i need some help:
I have a 1996 P reg punto 1.2 75SX. It is running with standard 165/65R/14 wheels and tyres. I have purchased some genuine Fiat 15" coupe wheels (6.5JX15H2-40 speedline which is on the wheels). I have spoken to a tyre dealer and i can use 195/50/15 or 185/55/15 tyres. I know the stud pattern is the same but will i need spacers behind the wheels or will they fit on ok as they are?? The car has not been lowered.

This is my 1st car so help please.

Tash

welcome to the forum

not sure ive seen them fitted but not sure of spacers, is there any numbers on the wheel its self?

edit btw your wheels standard 165/65R/17 are 165/65r/14 not 17

ive removed your other posts on bottom of other threads as they are all the same,

Hi sorry about the error on the standard wheels (17" i wish)

the only things on the coupe wheels are:

6.5Jx15h2-40 on the front

on the rear of the wheel is:

Italy SL1438
SPEEDLINE
B412

I have measured the distance from the rear of the wheel to the back of the cetre hub (the part that touches the hub on the car) and its 14cm deep.
The internal diameter of the wheel is 36.5cm

Hope this helps.

i think that means they have a 40 offset, i would fit them, and see if they rub on full lock, i cant see 2mm making any diffrence though

I think they are wheels from the very late version of the coop, a few sold in this country, but mostly seen on the 1.8 version only sold abroad. 15" wheels I think...
