    Those spikes are there to help getting the wheels in place. Not necessary though, but on some models (don't know about the Stilo) these hold the brake drum in place. Yes, I know there aren't any brake drums here, but that is their function aswell. But they can most likely be replaced with a bolt. When I had spacers on my previous Uno I removed these spikes, and bolted the spacer into these holes with hex bolts. Fiat steel wheels have holes that fit perfectly to these spikes. It is a possibility that these spikes have made your wheels offset in som sort of way.

    yeah mate, when i was fitting mine i went to put the wheels on with these already on and Les told me that you have to take them off, just a 10mm spanner should get them off for you matey, come off pretty easy aswell :)


    Hope this is the problem for you buddy.

    That is most likely a balancing problem. Take the tires back where you bought them at make them do a re-balancing.
