Doug and all,
I put a set of Ford Focus wheels on my Duetto a while back. The bolt
patterns are the same. Alfa is 4 X 108mm and the Fords are 4 X 4 1/4" which
comes out just a couple of thousands difference. Not enough to make any
difference.
But, the Ford wheels won't fit down over the front spindles or the
protrusion on the rear axles. You either need to have them machined or
install a 1/4" spacer. I did both and don't see any difference.

In the past, I've read on the AD that Ford Mustang wheels will fit our
Spiders. I have a 1977 Spider, currently with Turbinas.
I have a chance to buy four Mustang SVT rims, with nearly-new Riken tires.
The rims are 17x9.0, 26 mm offset, with bolt pattern 5-114, backspacing 6.12".
Does anyone know whether this would be a copacetic acquisition (for around
1K), or know where I might research the issue?
TIA
