wheels
« on: December 12, 2012, 11:17:28 PM »
Hi does anyone know if these are too wide to fit in the arches of my aircooled ?

 It`s not a straight fit as the PCD on the Mini wheels is different to Fiat(4x98).
 I can`t remember what the Mini is, but if it`s 4x100 you can probably get them fitted with some "wobbly" bolts.
 The size itself shouldn`t be a problem, but it depends on the offset of the wheels.
 
 There are some easier alternatives and you probably be better of going for a Fiat fitment.

mini pcd is 101.something and anything over 2mm is too much for wobblies I'm afraid... you may haave to look elsewhere...
one resprayed and another arrives- double trouble BIS style!!

Mini wheels will not fit safely with wobble bolts, if at all.

 The Fiat x1/9 O.Z`s look great on the 126 and they do come up on eBay time to time.
 Like this.

 Even better some classic Cromodoras. They are nice and light and will never loose they value as long as you can find a straight set.

 Those ones in the link haven`t sold(they aren`t mine), so you might be able to make a cheeky outside eBay offer on them.
 Just check with the seller if they are 6j as in he states in his listing as in this case they will be to big. The ones I`ve seen before were 5 or 5,5J which should be all right.

 This car had the same wheels fitted, just to give you an idea of how they look on a 126.
 I think you`ll need some slightly longer wheel bolts.
