General Punto Mk1 1998 Rims

[mattport]

Hey,

I just want to ask, what type of alloy wheels I have to install on my punto since it does not have a power steering?

15inch with tyres 195/50/15 or 16inch with tyres 205/45/16 ??

I have 195/45/15 on mine

195/50/15 are better suited to the mk2

Aren't 195/45R15 expencive compared with 195/50R15?

I'd have thought a Punto Mk1 would suit 14" wheels.

tbh I've never really looked at the difference in cost...the difference in handling to me is worth a few more quid

And the standard sporting alloys are 14's and look nice...but even my 15's on the sporting being black look a bit on the small side

I know people do put the 50 on rather than the 45's ... but i guess im a fussy cow lol and the 45's do work out to be correct fitment.

But would 16inch rims with 205/45/16 tyres fit well on my Punto since it does not have power steering?

you'd need 195/45/16" not having power steering doesn't affect what tyre size you go for
