Classic fiat 500 - wheels and tyres ?

[phib]

Hi all,

Just picking up a 1972 fiat 500 that needs some work. It’s a RHD K reg.

It will need new wheels and tyres ... amongst many other parts !!

Looking to put something slightly wider on, I have heard that the 12 inch mini wheels fit, does anyone know if that’s the case ?

Or could recommend other wheels that fit.

Thanks

Phib

Speak with Franco at Ricambio

He's a great guy, has everything you'll need to build a complete car if you need to and the service provided is absolutely first class.

He located and imported some billet alloys from Italy specifically for my Abarth replica.

We had a set of Borranis on ours that really suited it. Fat 135x12 tyres were enough to rub the arches on full lock!

This is what it looked like with them link

you can still get borrani s try https://www.borrani.com/fiat-wheels/nuova-500.html

you can also get 125x12 cinturato

The good news is that Pirelli themselves have now produced this tyre again. It used to be a budget brand but you can now buy a genuine 125SR12 Pirelli Cinturato CN54.
