Punto Wheels

[ted]

Just purchased a Punto Evo, but to my horror it has only got a repair kit in lieu of a spare tyre.
This vehicle also has Alloy wheels
My questions are these:-
(a)Can I buy a steel rim and tyre ( from a scrappy) as a spare wheel ?
(b) Is it legal to use this mixed wheel combo as a get you home replacement ?
(c) and more importantly will the 4 bolt holes match up on the brake drum ?

As long as the wheel you get came from a Grande, Evo or 2012 Punto or a Corsa D it'll fit fine and be perfectly legal.

Get a wheel for a Corsa D - Eh
Damn it, thats the car I traded in for this Evo. Dealer was going to send it to auction just to get rid of it
Presumably the position of the bolt holes are unique then to the range of vehicles you suggest
So I cant look for any 15" wheel then ?

It's not just the bolt holes, but the centre bore and offset that you need to get right. Those vehicles all share the same basic platform and hub design, so all the relevant numbers are the same. Thankfully they're plentiful, so finding one in a scrappy should be easy enough.

Thanks for all that info
In my ignorance, I thought a 15" wheel was the same for any vehicle.
ie standard, but that`s too easy
I can now search for a wheel, thanks to you which I know will fit
Feedback *****

dont we just wish all 15" wheels interswapped

Nope im affraid not

What fits on the Mk1/2/2b punto wont fit the G.punto

Would be nice, as i do think some new alloys look quiet nice, but wont fit

Its the same with the bloomin dashboard
My Corsa I traded in, had the Rev counter on the left and the speedometer on the right
Now with the EVO they are the other way around,

UGHHHH
