Hello,
I have a 2009 Fiat Panda Cross, it presently has 175 65 15's on it but was thinking of going to all weather 185's or even 195, probably 55 of 60 series tyres.
But on checking the rear there is very little gap between the tyre and the inner wall, so I'm feel even slightly bigger tyres just wont fit :-(
None the less My old 100hp had 195's on it and they fitted fine?
I therefore looked at this site for some advice, but it seems people really don't know what an wheel offset actually is or how to correctly read it.
As in the supplied photo, people miss read 24 and 35 offset being nearly the same, but they're wrong. The 24 is actually -24 offset, so the wheel is 'poking' out of the car more than in. While the newer cross wheels are offset 35 and instead 'poke' into the car from the centreline So could never fit on my mk2 Cross.
I don't if anyone has looked at 100hp wheels but their negative offset must surely be 'more' than -24 to fit on the Pandas hubs or are the 4x4 axles alot narrower than the normal car?
