Title: Mini Wheels on a Fiat 126?
Post by: DawidGiermak on July 20, 2014, 11:13:38 PM

Hey, I'm looking to get a new pair of wheels for my BIS but I'm unsure what ones I can get and if Classic Mino wheels would fit the Fiat?

In a word no - pcd is different and and it's too much to take up with wobble bolts. Fiat pcd is 98mm min pcd is about 101 mm I think.

I would have thought they will fit with wobble bolts, mini is 4x100.. Although if you want to buy new then midland wheels sell minilities in 4x98 (that's what I have)

He originally asked if mini wheels fitted- they dont they are 101.6mm (4 inch) and wobble bolts are only really safe up to 2mm so its not advisable- minilites with a 4x98 bolt pattern will fit or 4x100 wheels with wobble bolts ;)

So I could look around for some Minilites 4x98 and they should just bolt on? Seeing as Wobble bolts are not advisable  ;)

Yes minilite wheels are available with 4x98 and are cheap enough so it would make sense. Not a fan of them on 126s myself I much prefer revolutions like the capris used to have  :D

It was just a general question, cheers for the prompt replies guys! Looking at the fiat 126s with the mini wheels I cannot just see my 126 with them, guess it's just a personal opinion  :$

Ahh well, the search continues for some new wheels!
