With the Squadra chip you also have to run on higher octane fuel - Euro 98 here (not sure in your neck of the woods). I therefore would never fit a Squadra chip...

They just bolted straight on, although the difference in the hub diamater is .5 mm smaller on the 155. It was a tight squeeze, but it can be done without any mods.

33s do up reasonably well (as with all Alfas). It's just a question of time. Good luck with the restoration! |

That's a very good choice of wheel, as cooling for the brakes is excellent and the tyre size can remain original. Comfort will be great, handling will be great, looks will be fine.

Rims from an Alfa 90 should fit OK as the 33 Series I and II shared the same design.

Damn, you must be pretty shaken! Good to hear that you are in one piece, but a shame about the 1.5. I guess the left-hand part of the roof caved in quite severely during the roll-over?
