wheel sizes - himindoors - 27-08-2013
will the 306 have the clearance for a set 15 wheels or are there width restrictions on tyre size advise please
RE: wheel sizes - Piggy - 27-08-2013
well they have 15s as standard on many many models.
17s are relatively common. some put 18s on. but they look dumb.
its all about width and offset.
generally 205 as a tyre size is limit unless you roll arches etc.
but width of wheel can be pretty wide with with spacers/rolled arches
all depends on budget and your goal/plan
RE: wheel sizes - pugjohn306 - 27-08-2013
15s will fit mate can also grt away with 16s on 15" the tyres iv got are 195/50/r15 id asume most peope run em you can go 195/55 i think having 60s would make it run like crap to be fair but 15 will go on a pug
RE: wheel sizes - himindoors - 27-08-2013

RE: wheel sizes - himindoors - 27-08-2013
will post picture of my little car soon, still doing some work on her, nearly all done, I like the standard look but I love the car, god they have grunt for a 1.6
RE: wheel sizes - Piggy - 27-08-2013
185 seems a bit narrow for a 15" wheel.
what wheels are they??
Im 26. But many years of experience working on pugs/cits
RE: wheel sizes - himindoors - 27-08-2013
they off a ford, yeh I know a fing ford but they 7 star alloys with nearly new tyres
RE: wheel sizes - Piggy - 27-08-2013
you will need some fat spacers and longer studs for ford wheels to fit
RE: wheel sizes - puglove - 27-08-2013
If they are gen for wheels you will need adapters as ford have smaller spigots. these adapters are rather pricey around £140 delivered . not really worth the hassle to be honest.
also there is a guy on here in his 60s not regular tho
RE: wheel sizes - Piggy - 27-08-2013
oh yeah thats true too
RE: wheel sizes - Curt - 27-08-2013
It's not just that, Ford offset is different too. Usually require 20mm spacers, Ford>Peugeot centre bore. It does make it a lot more expensive and depending on the wheel (unless it's something special) not worth it.
Better off with some direct fit wheels. Most 15s will be best fitted with 195s, and 195/50/15s are the cheapest you can get.
RE: wheel sizes - Piggy - 27-08-2013
^^^^already mentioned the offset.
RE: wheel sizes - Curt - 27-08-2013
What I was saying is, spacers will cover both offset and centre bore differences. That's what I meant anyway
RE: wheel sizes - puglove - 27-08-2013
thats what i said curt. its not a spacer its an adapter and only avalible in 20mm (commonly) therefore solving both issue.
basic searching and this is what he wouls of found
RE: wheel sizes - chippyba - 30-08-2013

for pug > gen ford or pug > after market ford? could be interested if its a 61mm external spigot.
RE: wheel sizes - chippyba - 30-08-2013
Think their after then its 65mm
RE: wheel sizes - puglove - 30-08-2013
65.1 is peugeot spigot, after market should be 70mm
RE: wheel sizes - chippyba - 30-08-2013
Well they came off his pug with ford 17s but did give other spigot rings
RE: wheel sizes - puglove - 30-08-2013
Did you have a set of plastic spigots in the wheel ?
