Looking for some new wheels for my sei wondering if i go for 175 50 14 will this rub and will i need any spacers? Just want it to handle abit better top speed
Well, the tyre size is the stock Abarth/Schumaker fitment. With the right wheels, it won't rub. But the tyres have poor choice and are expensive. You can run 185/50/14 and still be fine (better choice, cheaper tyres). Or you can find some 6J wheels and run 195/45/14 -- better choice still, cheaper tyres.
In the end, it'll all be down to the ET of the wheels, nothing really to do with the tyres. See this for starters.
ET = Offset
There's a lot of things you need to be aware of when choosing wheels, as well as offset and of course diameter and width, you need to make sure the PCD and centre bore are correct @ 4x98 and 58.1mm.
Whether it will fit without spacers or not depends on the ET, not on the PCD.
Didn't you follow any of the links I posted?
But iget the jist of things its saying 100x4 will fit?
You'll need wobble bolts : ..

Read those for more info about offset. If it's not stamped on the wheel (which I've never yet seen a wheel without it) then that'll show you how to measure it.
I did follow and so say i had 5js could i fit 185 50 14s or would it need to be 5.5j and would i need spacers with any of thies?
If fitting the Abarth/Schumacher wheels to a normal Cinq or Seicento do you have to fit the studs with the extra hex on? Are they longer or something? Mine has them (with the abarth 14" wheels) and I assume I need to fit standard studs to change to stock 13" steels, just wondered if it was the same going the other way, or if 14" abarth wheels will fit standard studs without modification.
Measure it. PCD is an imaginary circle through the centre of the wheel studs/bolts see here.
ET is the offset -- again, see the place mentioned. The J size is the width of the wheel rim.
On most wheels you'll find J size and ET stamped, sometimes PCD.
Yep, 5.5J 14" rimes can run 185/50/14. No bigger.
