Post by: finlay on March 22, 2008, 03:52:12 PM

Will Punto 13" rims just bolt straight on?

What about Cinq/Sicento alloys?

Yes they are pretty standard 5.5J width from a 97 Punto. Problem is they are not local else I would have simply tried them on the car!

Also what size rubber do you suggest 165/70?

this is mine with 165/55 nankings on cinq wheels

these are as near as damn it the same diameter as the originals so the gearing and speedo are almost spot on.

if i do get those 13 5.5j wheels i was wondering about stretching narrower tyres, it might look quite cool.  Not sure what you can get away with though.
