Fiat Argo Bolt Pattern, Wheel & Tire Sizes
TL;DR
Fiat Argo (Brazil/LatAm hatchback): 4x98 bolt pattern, 58.1 mm centre bore, factory wheels 14 to 17 inches - always confirm against your own door placard before buying wheels or lug bolts.
Fiat Argo wheel and tire specifications (Brazil/Latin America market)
The Argo sold in Brazil and across Latin America is the primary version of this model worldwide (Fiat never sold the Argo in North America or most of Europe). It has run as a single generation since launch in mid-2017, with a mid-cycle facelift introduced in July 2022 that changed the bumpers, grille, steering wheel and wheel designs but is not documented as a chassis or hub change. The figures below apply to that single generation unless a future audit finds a documented split.
Bolt pattern and centre bore
Multiple independent fitment databases and Brazilian wheel retailers agree the Argo uses a 4x98 bolt pattern (4 lugs, 98 mm pitch circle diameter) with a 58.1 mm centre bore, shared with Fiat siblings like the Uno, Palio and Mobi/Cronos family. Stud thread is most commonly listed as M12 x 1.25, though at least one source lists M12 x 1.5 for the same car - if you are ordering lug bolts, verify the thread with a thread gauge or at a tire shop rather than trusting either figure blindly.
Factory wheel and tire sizes by trim
Entry trims (Drive, 1.0/1.0E Firefly) typically ride on 14-inch steel or alloy wheels with 175/65R14 tires. Mid trims (1.3/1.3E, Trekking) commonly step up to 15-inch wheels with 185/60R15 or 205/60R15 tires. Higher trims (1.8/1.8E, HGT, Precision) are seen on 16-inch wheels with 185/55R16 or 195/55R16 tires, and the sportiest configurations have been documented on 17-inch wheels with 205/50R17 tires.
Where to confirm your exact car
Trim-level wheel and tire fitment varies by model year and market package, and Fiat has not published a single universal spec sheet we could verify line by line. Always confirm the exact figures for your own car using these authoritative sources:
- The tire placard on the driver's door jamb (lists the factory tire size and recommended pressure)
- Your owner's manual (lists wheel torque and sometimes bolt pattern)
- The sidewall markings on your current tires and the back of your wheels (stamped size, PCD and offset)
- A Fiat dealer parts department or the manufacturer's wheel/tire fitment guide for your exact VIN

Frequently asked questions
What bolt pattern does the Fiat Argo use?
Fitment databases and Brazilian wheel retailers consistently list a 4x98 bolt pattern (4 lugs on a 98 mm pitch circle) for the Argo hatchback sold in Brazil and Latin America, from the 2017 launch through the 2022 facelift. No source we checked documents a change to this pattern across the model's life, but always verify against your own wheel or door placard before buying replacement wheels.
What is the centre bore of the Fiat Argo?
Independent sources agree on a 58.1 mm centre bore for the Argo, matching other Fiat small-car platforms like the Uno and Palio. If you are fitting aftermarket wheels with a different bore, you will need a hub-centric ring to avoid vibration.
What size are the factory tires on a Fiat Argo?
It depends on trim and model year. Entry versions typically use 175/65R14, mid trims commonly run 185/60R15 or 195/55R16, and higher trims have been documented on 205/50R17. Check your driver's door placard for the exact factory size on your specific car.
Is the lug bolt thread M12x1.25 or M12x1.5 on the Argo?
Most sources checked list M12 x 1.25, but at least one lists M12 x 1.5 for the same model, so this page states it as a range rather than a single confirmed figure. Before ordering replacement lug bolts, measure the thread pitch on an existing bolt or ask a tire shop to confirm, since using the wrong thread can damage the hub or fail to seat properly.
