Looking for a pair of extra steel rims for my 87 4x4 as a spare in preparation for panda Raid
Want to install Radar Renegade classic145r13 m+s tyres

Stock 2wd steel wheels are plenty available on breaker yards but the have et41.
I thing 4x4 needs et35 to avoid damaging filler neck. Cant find any in Netherlands

Panda 169 had 13 inch et35 but these are 5 inch wide. Panda classic is 4 inch ?

Any recommendations where to source alternative wheels ?
 
I cant look on the wheels of my car but
Im almost sure stock 4x4 wheels should be
Panda 141 4x4 4.0x13 4x98 ET35

Panda 141 2wd: 4.0x13 4x98 ET41
Due to higher et these wheels move 6 mm more inwards gives risk of damage filler neck by tyre rubbing
Spacers solve this?
Maybe not problems when installed at the front?



Panda 169 : 5.0x13 4x98 ET35,
Et is same as 4x4 but 1 inch wider rims
145r13 tyres are to narrow to install on 5 inch rims

This doesn't give rim width, but does it help at all?

Opneo are a good source for new steel rims, but their selection seems very limited in UK nowadays...
 
This helps indeed.
Seems that 4,5x13 Steelys are als usable width for 145r13 tyres

Looked the rim width older models in your listing
Found out that early cinqiciento had stock 4,5x13 et36,5.

Looking for mor matches
 
I'm sorry I've no idea why I thought you were in the UK, I think I was looking at a different thread :/

Opneo might be worth a call if you can't find any used rims, they have a good range in the EU.

I'd be happy to increase offset by a couple of mm, shouldn't affect handling, if that gives you more options?
