Technical Swapping alloy wheels to steel. Do I need different nuts/bolts?

[lordrobs]

As we will be keeping the GP for a while and my GF doesn't like driving on the rural un gritted roads I've decided to get a set of steel wheels with winter tyres. Her car currently has 16" alloys and I'm wondering if the wheel bolts are the same or do I need to buy some replacements?

If the steelies are off of a Grande as well (and your running Fiat alloys) then the same bolts will work just fine

They are the same. Before ordering check the handbooks recommended sizing to avoid any insurance implications (you should still inform them regardless)

Also check the faq section for the pcd as the gp is different to other fiats

Do a search I've posted before about my set

check the taper some bolts look the same but have a slight different taper
