175's on Dturbo Alloys? - carlukepeugeot - 01-06-2016
Hey folks,
My last 306 was an xldt with steel wheels. When the tyres were done, I changed down from the 185's to 175's - this was listed somewhere as being OK to do (think in the handbook), I don't thrash my cars and I found it gave me a good bit more clearance in the arches to avoid liner rub.
Now have a 97 (early phase 2) D turbo with the usual D turbo alloys, and need new tyres. Wondering if the alloys have the option of 175's too, or if that is too narrow for them. Just so I know my options. I quite like the 185's appearance, but to be honest when I changed down on the last car, I didn't notice any loss of handling or grip - actually the car drove nicer on the slimmer tyres.
cheers
Craig

Goodness..they will likely fit...
Would you want to run a 1180kg car with a torquey diesel on 175s.... I think I'd rather walk

theyre 1080 not 1180.
handbook says 175s is fine.
if you need skinny tyres so it doesnt rub however, your beam is shot.
