SPARE WHEEL
Pressed steel wheel.
Tubeless tyre, same as standard tyre.
WHEEL GEOMETRY
Total front toe in: – 1 ± 1 mm
The values refer to the vehicle in running order.
CORRECT READING OF THE TYRE fig. 195
Example: 185/65 R 15 88H
185 = Nominal width (S, distance in mm between side- walls).
65 = Height/width ratio (H/S) as a percentage.
R = Radial tyre.
15 = Wheel diameter in inches (Ø).
88 = Load index.
H = Maximum speed index.

If the car has integral cups fixed (by springs) to the
sheet rim and it has after-sale tyres “Rim Protec-
tor” (fig. 196) are used, DO NOT fit wheel cups. The use
of unsuitable tyres and wheel cups could cause a sudden
pressure loss of the tyre.

CORRECT READING OF THE WHEEL
Example: 6J x 15 ET43
6 = wheel width in inches 1.
J = rim drop centre outline (side projection where the tyre bead rests)
2.
15 = fitting diameter in inches (corresponds to diameter of the tyre to be fitted)
3= Ø.
ET43: = wheel camber (di stance between the
disc/wheel support plane and the wheel
centre line).
