Used Fiat 500C Tyre

Tyres are not a directly swappable used part in the way mechanical components are — a tyre from a breaker will have been removed from a wheel and cannot simply be transferred to your car without specialist fitting equipment. What you actually need to check is the tyre size marked on your existing tyres (for example 185/55 R15), then source a new or part-worn tyre of that size from a tyre supplier rather than a car breaker. If you need the wheel itself, that is a different search — look for an alloy or steel wheel listed for your Fiat 500C.

The Fiat 500C (produced from 2009 onwards, based on the same platform as the 500 hatchback) was offered with different wheel and tyre sizes depending on trim and wheel spec — common sizes include 175/65 R14 and 185/55 R15, with larger alloy-wheel variants running 195/45 R16. The correct size is moulded on the sidewall of your existing tyres and also listed in your vehicle handbook or door-pillar placard. A breaker can tell you what size wheels they have from a specific donor car, but you will still need a tyre specialist to supply and fit the rubber itself.

Trim level can affect the wheel size fitted as standard — for example, a Pop or Lounge may come with smaller steel or alloy wheels than a Sport or Rockstar trim — but the tyre size is determined by the wheel fitted to your specific car, not the trim name alone. Check the sidewall of your current tyres for the definitive size, as previous owners may have changed the wheels. Where trim does not affect fitment, any same-sized tyre will fit regardless of which trim your car is.

Breakers on Findapart do occasionally list part-worn tyres, but the more useful purchase from a dismantler is usually the complete wheel with tyre already fitted, particularly if you need a spare or a matching alloy. If you only need rubber, a part-worn tyre specialist or a new budget tyre supplier will generally be a more practical and safer route. Always check the tread depth and age (DOT code on the sidewall) of any used tyre before fitting.

The Fiat 500C received a mid-life update around 2015 with revised styling and equipment, but the underlying platform and wheel fitment — a 4x98 PCD with a 58.1mm centre bore — remained consistent across the model's production run. In practice this means a wheel from a pre-facelift car will physically fit a post-facelift car and vice versa, provided the offset and tyre size are compatible with your specific trim's arch clearance. Confirm the exact offset and any brake caliper clearance with the breaker against your registration before buying.

Yes, breakers regularly remove and sell spare wheels (including space-saver spares and full-size alloys) from dismantled Fiat 500Cs, and this is a common and sensible used-parts purchase. Make sure the wheel you buy matches your car's PCD (4x98), centre bore, and offset, and that a tyre of the correct size is either already fitted or can be sourced separately. A space-saver spare will have its own speed and distance restrictions, so check the markings on the tyre sidewall before use.
