Hi, can anyone with the above, and who has a spare wheel, please tell me what size PCD it has .

My motorhome , a Rapido C86 auto, runs on the light chassis so wheels should have a 118PCD but I can only find the alloys that are fitted with a 130 PCD.

Fiat fit uprated 16" alloys to the 9 speed auto but would they have also changed the hubs ?

I've tried measuring between wheel nuts, and from the centre of the hub to the centre of a wheel nut and doubling the measurement but the results are inconclusive.

Thanks

Patrick
 
Measure from centre of wheel nut across to centre of next wheel nut missing one out.

Do you have enough spare payload to carry a spare wheel - many don't

Yes they are the heavier wheels and are fitted to 9speed autos. But the van is on a light chassis
Are you certain the van is on a light chassis?

Hi Rob, this is the original makeup sheet and it states light chassis twice.

I've measured the pcd this afternoon and the wheels are 130 pcd.

Also the weight plate under the bonnet shows maximum weight, as supplied by Rapido, as 3500kgs

Hi,

it maybe worth taking a picture of the ALKO plate on the rear of the chassis by the axle and speaking to someone like Van Weight Engineering who will clarify the chassis for you.

Have you seen this reference page?
It you the PCB of different size wheels fitted to Fiat vans

Payload isn't a problem. It's uplated to 3960kgs with spare on both axles (y)
The front axle spare loading can almost be ignored. Whilst some careful loading and travelling with water can bite into it a bit it's difficult to exploit that spare, with a spare.
Mike.
