Technical alloy wheel drama

[rafsteve]

I called the local fiat dealer in portsmouth and he said the wheels i was looking at fiat grande punto 17" wheels would fit my bravo no problem.. so i go out and purchase them, and they dont fit.. just ever so slightly, any help or tips? I cant take them back either
They seem to have a small lip inside the wheel witch is just pulling the bearing cover off when i remove them, should i grind this off the wheel? They wobble badly on the car and have just been ballanced, the garage thinks the little lip is just pushing them out abit
Cherrs

Not sure but I think grande punto uses different pitch and centre bore, if so they are not really suitable. Don't grind anything off if the centre bore is too small assuming it is possible they will need to be precision machined out if the pitch differs you would need to use wobble bolts not my idea of ideal but the only solution

If you were sold them with a promise that they would fit, I'd take me back.

The centre bore is different, something like 2mm smaller, so will never fit. That and the PCD is also different, so fitting them with normal bolts and not wobble bolts is ill advised.

Take them straight back. Call the person that sold you them a moron while you're at it.

PCD is different as said also, they will not fit, and never will be a direct fit. Need to get yourself a refund
