Technical Pdc

[2668GRIFFIN]

I thought i would put this up regarding wheel upgrades for fiorino 3.
Wheel pdc is 98
offset is 44
throw those steel wheels away and get some alloys fitted,fiat have made loads of alloys over the years and will fit the fiorino.but just keep a eye on the pdc, thats why stilo blades are the ideal upgrade as stilo has a offset of 43.

Keep the steel wheels to fit wintertires....!!

I was going to ask if the Stilo Blades will take the 185/65/R15 tyres which will come on my Fiorino but then I went looking.... I include a list of what will fit Try to align the columns in your head - I've tried 3 times laying them out properly and every time the preview throws the spacings out to default, one space between groups of characters. I did try. Alternatively do the checks for yourself - Punto and Stilo

Fiat Stilo (2001-2007)
PCD ET/Offset HUB J CIRCUMFERENCE
4/98 43 58.10 7 1993.338855
Possible Tyre Sizes
Width(mm) Series(%) Diameter(inch) J(inch) Deviation
185 75 14 6 6 0.22 %
185 80 14 6 6 2.69 %
195 75 14 6 7 2.14 %
195 70 14 6 7 0.92 %
205 70 14 6 7 1.29 %
205 65 14 6 7 1.97 %
185 70 15 6 6 0.89 %
195 65 15 6 7 0.02 %
185 60 16 6 6 0.97 %
185 65 16 6 6 1.94 %
195 60 16 6 7 0.94 %

I chose to stop at 195 as I doubt anyone would fit 205s to the van

The Grande Punto will take those tyres - the PCD and offset may well be within tolerances, not sure about the hub measurement or what it refers to.
Does the Grande Punto have a nice choice of alloys?

Pcd as said is 98 on fiat but open up a whole new world of choice and go for 4x100 and get some wobble bolts.so much choice then.

Hehe - I'd forgottten you run 205's! Did they come with the wheels or would you choose them again? Smooth ride? (on the better bits of patched tarmac)

Stilo PCD is 98, Punto is 100. (at least according to that table)

Now I know what wobble bolts are for - thanks Steven S. The very thought of the association of 'wobble bolts' with 'wheels' strikes fear into the heart.

this tells you how to do columns https://www.fiatforum.com/blogs/ben/14685-few-little-updates.html hope it helps

Most useful thanks - I read it, understood it and was about to go and edit but that facility mysteriously vanished. I thought I'd tracked it down to only being able to edit the last post in a thread but this morning even that has vanished - what for? Is it to stop users throwing their toys out of the pram if someone upsets them and they leave - deleting all posts and rendering any useful exchanges meaningless?
Another forum I'm on allows edits to be done for about 2 minutes after posting before the note of an edit appears in the text, which allows a quick check on things you might have missed even after using the Preview facility (a vital tool to ensure you have used your CAPS key where you ought and to correct txt spk if it crept in.. )

Re: PCD (OT a little..)

Yes the tyres did come with the wheels when i got them,i would go to 50 series when the time comes to change them.
And i would not use wobble bolt either,in my book the correct wheel for the hub is the only way to go.

wobbly bolts are fine as long as they are good quality and the centre bore is right (spigot rings) is the centre bore isn't right the wheel will never be central

 

[Peter Pick-Up]

I would never use anything "wobly" on my cars....!!

Exactly.man knows his stuff.its floating washers that tighten on to the wheel.as said as long as the spigots are right bore.fiats choice of wheels are gash I.m.o

wobbly bolts is only their nick name, many on here have used them for years for road and race with no problems

 

[Peter Pick-Up]

I only use ( aftermarket) wheels that are exactly designed for my car, therefore no wobly's for me, ever.

 

[2668GRIFFIN]

Each to there own

It still seems to me like a bodge to get something to fit.

Would you like to translate that into English please? (The rest of the sentence didn't make much sense either with little
punctuation and no capitals... )

[2668GRIFFIN]

Just had a look on the web,and rung around, and it turns out there are loads of 98 pdc wheels available so why go for 100 pdc wheels and use wobble bolts?

I.M.O = In my opinion
