Title: Fiat 126 BIS alloys
Post by: Fiatlove on July 05, 2019, 06:45:14 PM: Good Evening,

I have been searching and searching for some nice alloys to go on my BIS. I just cannot seem to find any! Any suggestions from anyone? 8)

Post by: Minijohn on July 24, 2019, 01:37:10 PM: I'm using Cinquecento Sporting alloys but have slot mags to fit eventually.
They're 5.5x 13 with 165/55 x 13 tyres.
The 1st picture shows one of each

I think Gadge's Alfa Romeo alloys look really cool!! It looks like it was made for the car.

I've bought a cheap arch roller from eBay but I'm not having much luck with it.

I've tried looking for a smaller profile tyre, but I'm not sure that's the answer.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190818/4495aefcc3bfc3921af28797bea0d147.jpg)

Probably the offset is kind of problematic as well.

Did you mean r12 on that second size?

I've no idea about offset. What should I be looking at?

Post by: Magic on August 19, 2019, 08:03:59 AM: We seem so limited in the UK but then you look at the cars in Poland and every car has different alloys :o

I run 13" superlites on mine.

I on the other hand plan to keep it simple, respray the orig wheels and fit the medium plastic hubcaps, something like the aircooled cars had.

Those wheels will be up for sale soon as Iâ€™m planing on getting my steels powder coated :thumbup

Iâ€™m not sure why those wheels are rubbing though? The 165/5513 size has been tried so many times and on lowered or standard suspension so canâ€™t see any reason why they wonâ€™t fit. The only thing I can think of is perhaps the arch is smaller? (Series 1 wings on a bis?)

EDIT sorry just re-read the earlier post i see your fitting 155s . I havenâ€™t come across a 126 with 155/65s on as yet

They are 155/65 13, not 165/55. I'm now shopping for a set of 165/55.

Post by: DEYAN IYI on August 19, 2019, 05:01:59 PM: Just realised that I am using now a friend's set of winter 145/70R13 over Panda rims. Comparing the diameter to 155/65R13, 145/70 is 2mm larger. I can't provide a pic at the moment, but there is a significant gap between the tyre and the fender.

Post by: Ricardo Regalo on March 20, 2020, 03:49:31 PM: Hi,
mine is a aircooled from 1999, and don't know if this makes a difference, but I just installed some 145/70R13 on my rims with no problems on clearance. They are 5.5j. Actually I should have gone for the 155/65R13 which would look better (though I like the look with the ones I put on now). Both these sizes are very close to each other regarding diameter.

Don't understand why you are having problems with that tire size. I tried a 155/70R13 before on the front wheels and rubbed the inner linings on arches when turning. But I'm still considering that size for the rear wheels.
