Thanks in advance

I seem to have placed this in the wrong section - Sorry.

Hi, got this off an alloy wheel site... may not be 100% correct, this was based on replacing a standard 14" GT alloy, but if you post your original tyre size i can do the maths and give you the correct size...

Fiat
Model Year PCD Offset Bore 15" 16"

Punto I 94 to 00 4x98 35 to 42 58.1 1954515 1954016

Are you some kind of satnav?

205/55/15 is what there coming with.

would I need a lower profile was my main concern?

Thanks

205/55/15 would give u a diameter of 607mm which is 48mm bigger than the original diameter on my GT wheel (185/55/14 = 559mm)

So IMO you should change the tyres as it will affect your Speedo and possibly rub

I think I’ve seen updates on the forum where people are running 205 widths without any rubbing,

If you want to change the tyres

205/45/15 would give a diameter of 565 +6mm on original size
195/45/15 would give a diameter of 556 -3mm on original size

All this info depends on your original tyre size being 185/55/14...

I'd wait for a few other opinions before u spend your hard earned cash as I could be wrong...

yeah my mates started calling me TomTom when it first came out, because I never get lost and have a natural sense of direction when driving... its either that or *anker
