Wheels and tyres work together, It's best to keep as close to original as possible
There is a difference between handling and grip, handling can't be assessed on a road you need to be at and passed the limits of grip
Banging a wider on any old rim will not always produce the best handling and stable car
Fiat go to the trouble and expence of altering the ET for different widths
ET41 155
ET38 165
ET32 185
ET30 195
Take just the spare space saver, fiat fit three different diameters in two different widths
There is a bit of leeway, but adding a wide tread to a narrow rim will result in more sidewall flex, more edge tyre wear. To some extent you can counter this by pumping up the tyre but it's a comprimise and the ride will now suffer
Hopefully I have caught all the auto correct errors every time I type R13 it corrects it to R14 for some reason
