164 with 156 JTS wheels

[V AR 164]

Hey guys,
I have asked this question before, but I didn't get a definate answer.

Would the 17' 156 JTS wheels fit on a 164? They have the same PCD (5x98) but I am concerned about the offset of 40.5. I have seen it done before but I just wanna make sure. Picture below (white car)

I have also seen a 164q in Victoria with the 17' 3 spoke 147 rims with the exact same dimensions as the 156 JTS wheels, so I'm assuming they both will bolt right up? Picture below (black car)

Any advice is greatly appreciated as I need to make a decision whether or not I'm going to buy them soon.

Cheers, Andrew.

Sorry I can't answer Andrew, but damn those 147 wheels look fine on that car.

My suggestion is find a way to make em fit, anyhow you can.

Damn those wheels look good on that black QV! Is that a '97 24v car?

Huh, I actually don't like the wheels on the black car! Looks ugly to me. It's an Australian 12v car and a build thread can be found here: http://alfaromeo164register.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=383&sid=4d2829fe5b0587c6e33dc6b1a7382cf7

No one has any info regarding the wheels?

Hey Mike,

Thanks for the offer, but I have just purchased a set of 156 JTS wheels as pictured above. Fingers crossed they fit!

Cheers, Andrew.

Measure the centre bore, if I remember it's the only thing that's different

Yes, although I believe that is only necessary with the 75 to bore out the centre? Not sure, will find out soon enough.

Here's a pic of the wheels, if anyone is interested. I'm going to try and refurbish them, maybe even paint them white? I'm not sure, just want to try something different and stand out of the crowd!

Got them with potenza re002 in 215,45,17 already fitted, so should be a night and day difference in grip levels compared to my Eco tyres on there now!

(Oh, forgot to mention, I don't have them as of yet, they are getting shipped out soon and should arrive in a few weeks)

So far I am loving the stance 

Cheers, Andrew.
