Technical 14" Punto Alloys on a Panda

[dsgoody]

Evening all,

Could somebody clarify for me if these14" alloys, removed from a Fiat Punto, would fit a 2007 Fiat Panda. The Tyre sizes fitted to them are 165/70 14. I'm aware this is slightly too big on the profile however it compares well to the original 155/80 13's.

Thanks, Dave

Anybody? I'm holding off buying them until I find out if they fit or not.

I have asked the seller if they were from a early style Punto or the newer Grande Punto as I understand they used a 100x4 PCD as opposed to the standard Fiat PCD of 98x4. It's more the offset I'm concerned about, although I'm assuming they're not going to be too different both being from small Fiats of a similar generation.

Dave.

what's the offset? Most likely they will be fine.

Most likely they will, I bought similar Punto wheels for my 07 Panda 1.1 and they fitted straight on to replace the 13" steelies. I didn't see the car it came off though.

I only know the tyre sizes, the offset is beyond my knowledge as 306maxi will confirm....

Greetings!

The rims will fit.

I have 185/60R14 straight from a Punto 2000 installed on my Panda 2004 Multijet.

The ride now is much better!

My regards

Thanks for all the replies. The seller ended up selling these to somebody else in the end I will be out on the hunt for a set soon though.

For now, I really had to get my tyres changed (like, really bad) so ended up getting 175/70 13's Firestone Multihawks on the standard Steel wheels.

Thanks for the help.

Dave.

Be careful when taking the offset into consideration when buying wheels, offset is the distance between the hub mounting face at the back of the wheel and the wheel's centreline.

Offset is usually stamped or engraved into the wheel and is measured in millimetres of 'ET' [ET is the short form of the German word 'Einpresstiefe' which literally translates as 'insertion depth']

Positive Offset wheels have their mounting face toward the front face of the wheel. Most front wheel drive vehicles have positive ET wheels.

Zero Offset wheels have their mounting face even with the centerline of the wheel and are by definition "ET 0".

Negative Offset wheels have their mounting face toward the rear of the wheel - powerful rear-wheel drive cars often have wheels with negative offset.
