I used 50mm on the back axle but it was standard 131 racing axle(stiff) not abarth. On front i made the suspension wider for 55mm to each side but i have not used spacers but made longer wishbones.

i use 50mm in Front (100 mm overall) and 70mm on back (140mm overall Original 131 Racing axle)
with the CD 68! and 195/50/15 tyres.

Correct me if im wrong but the any wheel fitted onto a Fiat is 'Hub Centric' which means that the wheel is located centrally on the centre of the hub. The bolts do not line align the wheel centrally, make sure any spacers locate on the centre of the existing hub and offer another centre for the wheel.
Flat faced spacers will not do.
