Will 5.5J 13" 100pcd alloys fit my Bis.  I know that it should be 98 pcd but isn't there such a thing as wobbley bolts?  If so where can I get some?

Thanks

If you look at past posts you will see others who have discussed this matter. i have herd of wobberly bolts too, but i would not recomend them, get a set with a PCD of 4x98 and no more than 13 x 5.5j you could push to 6 if you invest in some wheel spacers.

Look for cinq alloys on ebay or any fiat or lancia / alfa alloys with 4 studs would do, as long as they are 12-13''

theres loads of modern alloys avalible for the fiat cinq online. but watch out for the new bolts as they offern have the wrong size thred on them. you mite have to buy longer ones or recycle your old ones.

Hope i have helped a little, but as i said search the fourum... i think some1 is selling some cinq alloys right now! 60quid!!!

Thanks for your help you have answered alot of my questions.  So you can fit the older 12" wheels but won't these look a bit small?

I have got a set of Fiat Uno Turbo Alloys fitted with 155 low profiles which I ran on a lowered 126 up for grabs.

I think there 4x100 alloys as it says to fit mini etc...

standard tyres are 4.5j x 13''    so im not sure if they would fit anyhow..

Uno turbo tyres! NICE!

Hi wobbly wheel nuts are fine to fit up to 100 pcd there seems to be alot more choice,all they do is compensate 2mm of diffrence which you dont feel.all that matters is the offset as the bolts dont seem to be that long you could always fit extending bolts and backing plates if the offset is to far apart.they will fit if its neg offset

Heres an off set guide on wheels

hope this helps
