Yes they will, but they are abit wider than the standard ones.

I have fitted a set which are 5.5J on my 126 and they fit perfect.

Another thing... you need to check if they are 98PC stud fitting,

Apparentley the bolt diameter is 100?

Also what does 98PC mean?

Thanks for all your help!

Prove it bis13

With the diameter been 100 the alloys wont fit without wobbly bolts.

98PCD = 98 Pitch Circle Diameter, being the difference between diagonal stud centers. Fiat 126's are 98 PCD

Sorry I missed the D off

So are these wheela a no go?

No go im afraid... unless you use wobbly bolts.

If you go down that route your best person to talk about wobbly bolts is Toz, as he uses them... though hav'nt seen much of him lately.

Thanks for all your help! I think I will leave them, they actually came off a Fiat Uno.

Thanks again

if they came off an uno and they are factory made they will fit.

those tyres will be slightly to big, you need 55 profiles to keep the gearing and correct speedo reading. either that or go down on the width, whic would probably be better as 165s should go on 5.5Js
