WELL DONE LANCIAK69

Can you tell us where you got your cat from? That seems a good price. I don't need one yet but the info might come in handy in the future as mine is the same age.

All the best.

got the cat from[ s d L] a very good price fiat were over £400 . i have also fitted a 12 disc changer and alloys to my ulysse looks better every day

 

[donaldmaclennan]

NICE ONE!

How do u work out which alloys to go for size and fitment etc

 

[AppleSei]

on your tyre it will have numbers like this

195/45/r14

195 = tyre width in mm
45= tyre height as a percentage of tyre width
r or similar = speed rating
14= wheel size in inches

If still unsure check with fiat dealership!

the wheels i have fitted to my ulysse 5 spoke 15" zender alloys as fitted to the alfa 156 ,195/55/15 on the front and 205/55/15 on the back . i am also looking into fitting side steps or as the wife says do you think your 16 again. i will win

Cheers Applesei and lanciak69

But I was meaning numbers like 6JX15 and your PCD etc. It is handy to know which over cars use the same alloys it makes it easier and gives my more of a choice in finding second hand alloys. As for the wife it is going to be hard enougth to talk her into allowing me to get a set of alloys so I will not even try with side steps :shakehead

 

[lanciak69]

the pcd for the ulysse is 5 stud 98mm same alfa 156,164,gtv/ spider, not the166 .also the lancia zeta,delta hf,the 806 and citroen evasion . when fitting alfa wheels the backs bolt right on the fronts you have to watch the calipers a small chamfer is somtimes needed of the alloy hub[ rear of the wheel where the 5 holes are] i have had the wheels fitted for a year no problems

lanciak69 thanks for that I have a better idea now what to look for
