Styling 16" wheels on my Panda 2017 80TA

[DKMark]

Hi All

Probably been asked 100s of times but here goes.

Have 2017 Panda 80 TA in Copenhagen. Need to change from Summer tires and am thinking of going all year tires as I don't really need true winter tires. I want to go with bigger & wider wheels (Now 14") for performance and looks. Am also looking at replacing the shocks / springs (Eibach B12 Pro Kit Sports for Panda) that will lower the car by about 30mm a corner.

So will 1 16" preferably steel wheel with say a 195/50 R16 fit? What do I need to consider, i.e will I get tire strike while turning etc?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

With 195/50-15 wheels/tyres we have no issues on standard suspension, though it'd be unwise to store your fag papers any where twixt tyre and body.

Wheel width and offset are the crucial things and a 50% 16 inch may be just too much. Add lowered suspension and you may struggle a little.

I have run 7.0Jx16" ET31 Steel and Alloy FIAT Bravo wheels on my 85TA's
With winter tires 205//45R16" and Summer tires 215/40R16" on the front axle and 205/45R16" tires on the Rear axle.

The Blue one with alloys and summer tires the silver one with steel and winter tires.

Both Panda's 40mm lowered.

Thanks! Very very helpful!
Both cars look very cool!
Can I ask what kit you used to lower them?

Novitec sport springs 40 mm, sadly limited edition of 100 sets and no longer available.

Best next thing H&R 30 mm springs.
