Styling minilite wheels on a cinquecento?/ lowering advice please :)

[jdesouza88]

hi there guys

over the last week i bought in the wonderful world of a fiat cinquecento sporting with abarth all over it, love it already. wanted one for so long.

just wondering if its okay to put 13'' minilite alloys onto my cinq? is there any problems or things i will encounter with doing that?

... and also, if i want to lower my cinq by 40mm with new springs, whats the best way of going about this?

many thanks

Official Minilites dont fit

pcd of your car is 98 and for a mini think it is 106, too much to make up

Get minilite replicas - Compomotive ML's or KN Minataurs

The latter arent available in 13'' though IIRC but the compomotives do come in 13'' both available in fiat fitment also

Type both into google for a pic and suppliers of these alloys

Cov69 Fitted a set of ultralites (13x8's That came off a show mini) onto his sei, and all he needed to do was open the holes up using a 16mm bit, fit the wheels with the correct hubcentric spacers, spigot rings, and wobbly bolts. Car was fine.

Thanks

did he not have to fiddle with the arches?

 

[Todger182]

No, he didn't touch the arches from memory.

They did stick out of them a little but they were "just" legal.

Thanks
