fiat 131 tyre sizes

[chris131]

Hi all. I am looking to know what the stadard tyre size would have been on a fiat 131 mk3 4 door? The wheels currently are 13" ? 5" fitted with 165/80 13. Would these have been the correct size tyres?

Next question: I am looking to fit 13" ?5.5" wide wheels. I have these fitted on my sport with 185/60 13 tyres. Would these be suitable for the mk3 4door or would I need a larger profile tyre?

Thanks for any help / suggestions

Hi Chris

I think it depends on engine size. My white 1400TC Super came with 165/80/13s on I think ...4.5 inch wide wheels. I fitted 185/70/13 tyres to the same wheels but in hindsight I think I should have had wider wheels for that tyre width. It handled and gripped very well nevertheless.

If it's a 2000TC, they came with either 13 x 5J or 14 X 5.5J wheels (I have both sets in stock). The former I believe should have 185/70/13 tyres and the latter could either have 185/65/14 or 185/60/14.

The Sport came on 185/70/13s or 185/60/14s. Never on 185/60/13s as far as I know....although I've seen 195/60/13s fitted and they look OK - I suspect the steering is quite heavy though...

I can't comment on the 1600s or Diesels without looking them up.....hope that helps.

So would I be best to go with 185/70 13 tyres as suppose to the 185 / 60 13

Think that's a more appropriate size to keep the speedo right Chris.

Going to sell the alloys from Baby Toad that it came on, see thread, send PM   I think there something like 7x13 see thread for fitment pix.

Just another option

Just for the record, I do have 205/60-13 tyres on Cromodora alloys, they do fit fine and steering is in no way heavy at all (no power steering).

Are 175 50 13 become too small on a deep dish rims 13x7.  -7 ET because 185 60 13 become wide and clash with rear arches

Try to get the 14  x 5.5 wheels with 185  60 14    , the generaly look and feel the best , 13 look to small and anything less than 5,5 wide look like skinny granddad wheels ...

Are 15-7 fit?

Are 15-7 fit?

I've got 15"x 6", running 195, 50 tyres. Depending on the wheel offset you might get 15" x 7" under it. I had to remove the 6mm spacer plates, but still had slight rubbing on the rear, the 132 rearend was slightly narrower, so no more rubbing after it was fitted.

That is sure now 7'' does not fit..

Mick yours looks great, I have 16x7 on rear 16x6 on front
