Hmmm I think I may try some 14's for size first then.
to for that
stick to 14" 5 or 5.5 wide at a push, and no wider than 165 tyres with lowish profile (in my experience anyway). since you dont get a great choice of tyres on that size, i'd stay with 13's.
of course you could get the rear arches flared and none of this would matter :devil:

Crikey! it's not straightforward no matter what I do
I suppose a bit of trial fitting won't hurt
Any more for any more folks?

Panda offset is 41mm, as long as you get wheels with roughly the same and not too wide you'll be fine. Tyres should be 165/65/13's or 165/60/14's to be on the safe side.
well that means spacers will defo be required to get sei sporting wheels on..
Mk1 punto sporting wheels offset is 45.5 so they might go one without spacers and not have clearance issues (like what i just fit to my cinq)
They are 14 x 5.5j
Also my old lancia's, they are 14 x 5.5j ET 45 as well, but they are not round anymore lol

Gah! Those are the 14's I've been looking at, and I was gonna black 'em up too. Now folks'll think I'm a copying you
I've been thinking about 14's for standard summer tyres and sei 13's alloys with winter/ m&s tyres for err, winter (and maybe a little soft roading too), Steelies for cluttering up the garage. I'm not too concerned about big arch gaps as that's standard on a Panda and looks ok with chunky tires, besides once lowered aren't I in for modified insurance headaches too?
lol, its ok fella, they different cars so its not copying
Lowering doesn't usually make much difference to insurance i find but only if your current policy allows mods or you will be cancelling and going with someone else. Worth checking if they allow it or not and how much more they would want before thinking anymore about it tbh.

Actually I'm wrong about those punto wheels, they aren't the same as yours :bang:
Soo........

If you run out of these, you can find some more here...!
Cheaper and easier to get them from your Dealer.

I have the bestest dealer - his names Vern! :hug:
Well in other non-sycophantic news Fizzle has been riddled with 'speed holes'
Passenger side only - just waitin' for the paint to dry overnight - decided to put them all on with pegs - in for a penny etc
In more easily rectified if it's cocked up news :
since a 'fire' badge was hideously expensive decided to confuse the 3 pointed star drivers by adding my 'forum' initials (and soon to be new moniker)

Good to see you're not cutting corners John
But don't change your moniker! you'll always be Cheekylittlescamp now.

Back onto the topic of alloys - these are the design I'm looking at.
14" and from the old punto so 4x98 not sure of the offset though.
Funnily enough I was posting about alloys for my 500 when I first joined the forum, now nearly a year has passed and 2,501 posts later I'm asking about alloys for my Panda.

not sure of the ET of them but they will be similar to the GT3 being they came from the same car etc
They are narrower I think, only 5", offset 48. Might need a bit of a spacer on the back, I have a slim spacer and slightly ground back axle already so fit fine on GW.

Passenger side trims fitted.
Beginning to wonder whether I should keep the 'Fizz' stripe, it's very faded.
The one on the drivers side has already gone after the door was changed.

Yeah...I like the look.
I can't work out why, but your windscreen wiper looks really weird too me...
Either the wrong arm or its been bent around.
