Don't be.

When they left the factory, Fiat used exactly the same bolts on steel and alloy wheel variants; the OEM bolts are identical.

Just been reading this thread.....

14" Steel wheel to 15" Alloy question | FIAT 500 (2007+)

Sorry for another tyre/wheel related thread, but have a specific question. Hello Forum, require some help please. My 1.2 Pop came with the 14" steel wheels. Tyre size 175/65/R14. Manual suggests rim is 5 1/2 J x 14H2-ET35. I have bought 15" (original fiat 500, from well known auction site)...

I would just worry about what you NEED.
I would do the following

1. Put the bolt you wish to use through the wheel and measure how much is protruding, and call this A.
2. Measure the width/thickness of the hub including the disc, and call this B.

If B + 5mm is equal or less than A. you're going to be fine.

Anyone agree?

I thought all cars used standard pitch, seems newer Fiat use fine pitch.

To be fair that is what I need, I’m replacing POP 14” steel wheels for 15” alloys..
