Styling 19" alloys on the Bravo?

[crispy1]

Hi Guys, I'm just curious if anybody has fitted 19" alloys on a bravo yet?
A stilo takes them easily but as I'm saving for a bravo I wondered if its worth keeping them till I get one.

Is she lowered at all. As fitting 19" alloys may make her ride a wee bit harsh. I have had other cars in the past both lowered and not with 19" and the ride was fiarly jarring to be truthful.

I don't have bravo yet, but I had old brava and laguna both lowered. The laguna rode beautifully on eibach springs vs the brava on g-max which was very firm. I would defo go eibach on the new bravo.

There are some videos of bravos with 19" wheels on youtube.

Novitec sell direct fit wheels for Bravo

I think it is great on 17"s and I am getting a bravo on 18"s on Friday so can give feedback

Gut feel is that the 19"s will be worse ride and handling

There was a thread a while back of a bravo on Lenso 19"ers. I'd dig it up but on mobile. Seem to remember the general concencus was they are an inch too big to suit the Bravo.

Will search later when I'm home from work unless someone beats me to it

depends also on whether you're going for the dynamic/active with the regular suspension or the sport with sport suspension. Even the 16" on mine is kind of unforgiving. Personally I would never put more than 17" on a bravo.

I was wrong, general concencus was that they look pretty good. Think that's a Sport too so should be no problem. No mention of ride quality though.

I know what you mean. Mine's a sport on 18's and it's too hard for the B roads where I live.

Haha, no, must be getting old! Ten years ago my car had bugger all suspension movement, rubber band tyres, had 296bhp at the rear wheels and spent a lot of time sideways. Now I need five doors, isofix and a boot and if it's it's fun to drive it's a bonus!

I think fiat really need to work on their suspension. I hear people riding the punto and the 500 as well complain from the ride comfort. Maybe its not an issue for some people but in my country ride comfort is a big selling point because of the poor roads

Hahaha same boat. I had an astra 2.0 gte with no soundproofing or exhaust silencers.
