    Nice looking wheels with a Blue Q4. Is that a tow bar mount at the back I can see ?

    Thank you..
    Proud of it too

    Yes it is a tow bar mount you see, it was mounted by the previous owner in Germany. And I see no need to remove it again (though i am not ever gonna use it), since the work is done ok and so is the finish..

    Hi Pete, is that Neg-creeps old car? If it is, you are already in the register.

    Hi, guys.

    Do you think it is possible to mount on 155 Q4 wheels that have 57,1mm central bore ? It's about some 15" OZ 4x100 ET36.

    As far as I know the original 155 wheel have ~ 47mm central bore(I will measure the exact dimension).

    Thanks in advance.

    Cheers,
    Cristian.

    Indeed, the 57.1 mm bore wheels are mounted on some VAG right now and I hope 1mm doesn't count that much. At least not as much as the price...

    You were realy helpful to me. Thank you, na15575! The beer it's on me.

    These also look nice:
    Both 17 inch, and 4x98 with 58,1 mm bore.

    http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-17-alloy-w...item4836cd9cec

    http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Original-FIAT-...item3ca93b19c4

    The newer fiats got 4x98. So a bit more choice these days.







    Also with 17inch you got a better choice of tires. (I got re050 bridgestones wich are not available in 16inch, except for some odd sizes.)

    And also fitted with towing hook. (Hiddable unther the rear bumper.) So guilty as charged.

    Nice blue wb!

    I really like your 155Q4 rims, Jan. I would go for them in the past just that aren't available anymore on 16" (only 17") and the main problem we have here it's about roads conditions which doesn't "match" with low profile tires...

    Btw, what size are you using for tires?
    Haven't you got any problems fitting the wheels under the wings? Thanks for your suggestions about the wheels.

    And no problem with the wheel fitment.
    But i have a widebody wich helps, and the car is not extremely low.

    Not sure if this could go under a smallbody.

    If I want to go for 4x100 rims do I have to change all (4) bolts on each wheel with woble ones?

    Or it should be enough for each wheel to stick with 2 originals and change the others with 2 woble bolts? Don't know if those woble bolts would be safe with 15-20 mm spacers. Thanks in advance.

    Cheers,

    You do want to use four "woble" bolts on each wheel.
    You need them align the wheel on the right spot

    xti - I think wobble bolts are fine on wheels that are close to standard fitment - but if you need to use 20mm spacers to get the offset that you want then wobble bolts are more of a problem.

    I want to offset just the rear wheels because they are 15'' and look (in fact they are) too small on a WB. But I agree with you Jim that 20mm spacers could be too much for wobble bolts. Don't know what to say about 15mm but I think it doesn't change the situation too much...

    I like very much the rally-look of these wheels (O.Z. Rally Racing) and they are strong but aren't available on 16''. I didn't found yet other 16'' wheels to be closer to my taste than these 15'' ones .

    If I remember, Wrinx was using wobble bolts with 15mm spacers all around. Please give us a feedback, Wrinx. Thank you.

    Cheers,
    Cristian.

    Yes, that's correct.

    So long as you have hubcentric spacers it's just like bolting to the original hub...I haven't had any problems so far.

    Thanks, wrinx.

    I also have though about drilling 4x100 holes too if they would be able to do it at the workshop.

    Not enough space for drilling 4x100, the 4x98 holes are already too close to the edge.

    Wrinx, are the spacers you have 4x98 ?

    Also do you remember how long the shank of the bolts has to be for 15mm spacers? I have measured 35 mm after mounted 3 original (5mm) spacers just for a test.

    Thanks again.

    Yes, 4x98...can't recall how long the bolts where but that will depend on your wheels anyway.
