I have bought a Chrysler Ypsilon (diesel), which clearly has very similar running gear to a Fiat 500/new Panda/Mito. (There doesn't yet appear to be a forum for Ypsilons.) For better ride quality, I want to change the 16" alloy wheels (with 195/45R16 tyres) for steel ones. The handbook says I can use either 14" with 175/65 tyres or 15" with 185/55. I would be grateful for any guidance on the likely advantages and disadvantages of each.
And, if I buy steel wheels from a non-Fiat source, do I have to worry about any other other characteristics than the stated rim specification? Offset, for instance?
Thanks.
