Fiat 130 Abarth Alloys?

[hammerbeirne]

Can anyone tell me if there is such a thing as fiat 130 abarth alloys 15 inch?

[chris131]

No, not to my knowledge. 14" was the biggest that fiat fitted.

Fiat 130 tc also known as strada abarth only cam with 14 ich rims.....the fit 130 sedan/coupe on the other hand had 15s i think. But 5*98pcd stud pattern.

Iwas in contact with a guy that has a set and i was wondering if they would work on a 131 abarth replica

[chris131]

A set of 14" 130 abarth strada alloys would not suit a 131 abarth replica. The wheels wouldn't even come close to filling the arches. For an abarth replica you would need an 8" or 9" wheel on the rear and a 7" or 8" wheel on the front. The wheels also need to have a negative offset so that they are deep dished to set the wheel out so that they fill the arches.

If you need any help deciding on the right wheels, or with working out the offset you need just let me know. I've already went through all of this with my own abarth replica so know exactly what you need.

A Fiat 130 and a Fiat Strada 130 is not the same car! Are you sure the wheels are not from a Fiat 130? I think they had 15" wheels but I also think they have a 5 bolt fixing. Dave can tell us.

Just to rephrase my original post the add I was looking at said Fiat 130 set of original genuine 15 inch abarth alloys so i came to the conclusion that they would be the same as a 131 abarth alloys

[Thotos]

I think that would be the wrong conclusion.

The Fiat 130 does indeed have five stud wheels (not sure of the PCD) but they are 14" not 15".

Enda there is always a wide selection of very wide alloy wheels in ford pcd on ebay & wont break the bank compared to some of the prices i have seen fiat ones go for, & you could always fit a ford english axle to your replica & have wide choice of lsd ratios also & convert the front to ford also? just a suggestion

[hammerbeirne]

That makes sense Nick the abarth wheels are very expensive By the way anyone interested in in those wheels i was talking abuot they are on dondeal.ie and are 150 euros just type in fiat 131

I had a full set of brand new compomotive ML wheels 15"X8" in fiat fitment and sold them last week. Pity I didn't know sooner that you were looking them, as they would have done your car.

I still have a set of 13" compomotive ML wheels. They are brand new still in the boxes. Rears are 13"x9" and the fronts are either 13"x7" or 13"X8"  - can't remember which. They are deep dished and in fiat fitment (4x98 PCD).

Suprisingly the 13" wheels actually look better than the 15" one's as the dish on them is deeper and it gives the car a better look.

If your interested in the 13" one's you can let me know - would save you alot of bother looking for wheels and changing over axels and hubs etc.
