HELP,HELP, 17" x 7 on a Bravo

[Koen willemse]

HELP,HELP,HELP,HELP,HELP,HELP,
I want to buy 17" alloy wheels (Arbet VIII) for my yellow Fiat Bravo 105 JTD. If they are 7" wide they will fit on my car without any problem but these are not in stock anymore.

Is it possible to fit 17" alloy wheels with a width of 8"?

Wheels

Yes the 8x17 will go on with either a 205 or a 215 tyre. Just be careful if using the 215 as it can catch the rear arches especially under a full load. You may want to stiffen the suspension if you haven't already as this will help eliminate a bit of scrubage also.

i dont think they'll fit

iv got 7x 17 x 205
they r a bloody tight fit...
they even touched the arches the other day with a couple of mates in the car...
id say play it safe and wait till they'v got the 7x17

Hey! You cannot fit 8x17

You can fit in your Bravo 7 x 17 inch

or 7,5 x 17 inch

don't try those 8 inch wide

good luck,
KLR

Thanks all

Hi Mike, Steve and KLR
Thanks for the response. I'll think I'am going to wait until Arbet Germany will start a new production of this alloy wheels.
Is it possible that in your countries the Arbet VIII 17"x7 is still available for a Fiat Bravo(4/100)?

In my country (Belgium)this alloy wheel is out of stock.
