General Questions that i need help with...

[Red18]

first one....

Okay so i got some alloys to stick on my car, now i was told about some rolling distance +/- 10%... This won't change my Speed that much then right? the are 14's by 7's...... I orginally have 13's i think. And will it slow my car down them being a little heavier and wider???

secondly...

I will shortly be purchasing a GSR Induction Kit from OldSchool, when i can get round to it, do i have to chnage anything else, or can i just fit the induction kit. Reason why i ask this is because my freinds up at the garage say its upto you??? i was like wtf does that mean???

And lastly...

Where can i find some damn body-kits for my baby!!!

I think 14" 7J will be difficult to fit. Most of the stuff you need to know about wheels is here in the FAQ (above, just below the fiat Forum banner). On 195/45/14 the gearing is raised a little, but not overmuch. Uniroyal Rainsports are probably the cheapest decent tyre in that size and suit the car well.

The most important things about wheels are the centre bore (the centre bore actually takes the load of the car and must be right) and the offset which -- accounting for the spacers you'll almost certainly need -- should be as close to the original FIAT spec as possible. Spacers, if more than -- say -- 8mm should be hubcentric (avoid, in any case, the universal ones).

There are body kits around, but, I think, the Sei is very difficult to modify well: even Abarth pretty much gave up on it.
