General Bigger wheels/tyre that fit on pandas without mods

[nuvolarossa]

What is the bigger size of wheels/tyres that can be fitted on our pandas (mine is a 899cc '97) without modifications?
Now I have 4x13 with 135/80 R13 and they are a bit too small
what can be fitted from others fiat cars?
what is the offset of my factory 4.00x13"?

thank you

I had 14 inch wheels on my selecta, and the road noise was terrible , have you not thought of getting wider tyres :chin:

Search the forums.

Most of the 999cc fires (or similar) I've seen are running 155/65/R13 rubber. Some go for a 70 profile to keep costs down. I don't know if steel wheel widths vary between Panda models, some I've seen with 135s, others 145s, 155s and 165s too.

If you want more rubber than 155s (and to be honest 155s are a great blend of performance, grip, economy and price) then you may wish to consider alloy wheels. Be careful which you choose, though, as Panda arches don't take kindly to anything bigger than 13"s diameter or 5.5 inches wide.

Wheels from the Cinquecento and Seicento Sporting will fit, the standard rubber being 165/65/13. Many people choose to put lower profile 165/55/13 tyres on, and sometimes stretch to 175 or even 185 width too. However on a Panda such width is, well, wasted.

To sum up, go for 155s if your wheels are wide enough to take them. I'm sorry but I don't know if the width of steel wheels varies between models.

thanks, so if I want put a decent light 14" alloy what size is the best for my little 899cc?

14" will require spacers or arch work. Go for 13", no wider than 5.5" and you need to do no work provided the bolt holes have a 98mm PCD (standard Fiat fitment).
