ya they are 16s. I will hopefully get them on tonight..and get some pics up!tyres are bloody expensive!!
Are you sure?
They should be 17 as fitted to the Stilo, should ideally run 215/45/17 tyres but probably a bit big for a stock bravo. They will look big with tyres.

they are replicas..not original fiat!
I see, very nice. I have a set in 17 look great on the Bravo, look original (not chav) plus make the car look more purposeful and sporty plus make it look years newer.

actually a 195/50 profile will be similar to a 205/45 tyre profile, as the profile is a percentage of the width.
195 is by far, plenty wide enough.

mytyres works out more expensive than my local type fitter once you include fitting and balancing costs, always get a local quote before buying online, and find out how much fitting will cost if you supply your own tyres, its often £10 per wheel these days, although £5 is not uncommon.

does that mean my tyres are a bit too wide?? my wheels came with the car and had theses sizes on so thought i better not change them!
ive got odd wheels too, six spoke fiat wheels but have speedline cast on them!?never seen another set anywhere??
205 isnt too wide for the bravo, its got enough weight for them.

here are some pics, the before and after. they were taken with my phone so not great quality. Just started college so had to get cheap tyres, got GTs in the end. I just need to get an Abarth front bumper now!! in the last pic the boot looks a slightly different colour but its not its just the camera!

very nice!!
Klemster, they look really nice
Carl. as suggested above 205 is perfectly fine, I was trying to suggest the fact that 195 were not too skinny. My car is set up on 195/16 and puts 250bhp through the front wheels
