twotonetony Unregistered T	was confused by tyre sizes 16v turbo is listed 205/55 16 while 20v turbo is 205/50 16 didn't realise 16v wheels were narrower

It's only every been 205/50/16 or the 15 inch tyre.

twotonetony Unregistered T	16v Turbo Tyres--- 205/55ZR15 16v Turbo Plus Tyres--- 205/55ZR16 this is what is listed on the 'the Range' on the home page of FCCUK that's why I am confused at what tyres to fit on the wheels Last edited by twotonetony; 08/09/2013 09:55.

I unplugged a row of electric cars that nobody was using. I even unplugged my own.

I have those by accident (it's a long story) on the 16NA and they're definitely over-radiused; speedometer and odometer both read low as a result. 205/50R15 would be the right diameter. Don't get no respect! Coupe Fiat 1994-2000 - an owner's guide <-- clicky!
