Alloy Wheels

[Ebby]

My son is buying a brand new Adria panel van conversion it comes with Fiats 16" alloys ,he's going to have some more sporty wheels fitted and I would like to know if his Fiat wheels would fit my 2009 Fiat Rapido 787f which has 15" steel wheels.Any advice would be appreciated.

you can find the tech spec for them and check the loading, offset etc on the web somewhere ....

tyres are just as important to be correctly 'matched' to the load aswell, but with your 15 years experience of motorhoming, youve prob forgotten far more that i will ever know ....

If they don’t , give them to me I’ll make them fit my Autotrail which has 16” steels

There are two stud PCD patterns, if the stud PCD's are the same as yours then they should fit providing you have wheel arch clearance.

Make sure the wheels your son intends to fit are load rated for motorhome and commercial use as there are not a lot out there that are.

Search ‘wheel compatibility’ on here.

Just ensure the new alloy wheels have the same Number of studs, PCD and Offset.

Also, the Alloys will need to be rated to commercial vehicle weights! Often overlooked on Fee Dubs etc

Ebby is the overall circumference the tyres fitted to these the same?

Pcd118. Typical 15" and lightweight 16".
Pcd130. Heavy duty 16". Typical on maxi chassis.
Difference easy to find by measuring bolt to next bolt.
71.8 or 78 respectively if I remember correctly.

Thanks to you all for your help and advice, what a brilliant site Motorhome Fun is.

I suppose they (alloy) look better when new, but they are no lighter than steel, aren't as strong and corrode. Steel is a wonderful metal

Yes I know it rusts... But it's behind the wheel trim
