Title: 1961 Fiat 600D - 13 inch rims
Post by: Amateb8 on February 20, 2016, 12:47:23 AM

Okay, this isn't a 126 query. I'd like to install 13 inch rims on my 600D, but do not want the hassle of flaring the arches/wings. Is this possible? I read somewhere, Fiat 127 or 850 rims with low profile tires would fit the car perfectly. Is that right? Will it affect the speedo reading?

Weren't 600s already on 13' rims ? When i bought my Gardineria, i found it had 1x 13" wheel in it. I assumed it had got swapped from the seller's stock as he had a couple of 600s ?

I think the 850 had 13 inch rims - not sure. I thought it did as well. But on research, the Fiat 600D/E has standard 12 inch rims with 145/80R12.

give this a go you can input your current wheel Tyre specs and your proposed ones and it gives a visual representation of the difference...
