Depends ho many studs and whats the PDC?

That tyre size is too big - the outer radius is 4.5% too big, which will cause your speedometer to underread and may have arch clearance issues. 215-width may not even fit in the arches anyway.

Figures you need to know for the alloy wheel (ignoring the tyre dimensions) are...

Size: <= 17 inches
Number of studs: 4
Pitch Circle Diameter (PCD): 98mm (although +/- 2mm can be corrected with 'wobbly bolts'
Offset (ET): 35mm (smaller than this CANNOT be corrected, larger can be corrected with spacers
Centre bore size: 59.1mm (smaller than this will require boring by a workshop, larger can be corrected with spigot rings.

Incorrect.

Standard Sporting alloys (not HGT) alloys have an offset of 33mm. HGTs have an offset of 37mm. 35mm is the standard JTD steelie (6x14) offset.

Fiat CB is 58.1.

That will explain why HGTs have completely different hub/carrier assemblies. I've heard both 58.1 and 59.1 mm quoted as this centre bore. Since the brembo catalogue lists 59.1mm, that's what I went on.

And then just to confuse things, the Punto Grande is a GM spec :bang:

I've just checked other sources, and it seems that it is 58.1mm.

right they are 4 stud and 100pcd

right they are 4 stud and 100pcd

As long as all the other dimension match up, that difference in PCD can be correct with 'wobbly bolts'.

all i know about the alloys i am after are:

215/40r17

4 stud

100 pcd

the tyres are too big you need 205/40/17


some gp's have fiat fittings

Crikey! Gets even more confusing than I first thought then. And I was considering a GP should anything catastrophic happen to my mk1. I'm just reluctant to gain the extra 300-400kgs in weight, and all the girly electronic stuff.
