		Having a slight problem with my wheels, i have had 205 50 17 tyres fitted but they do not fitted my car, i presume what i actually need is 205 40 17 tyres?
Obviously i may need slight spacers which i have but just wanted to check before i go order four tyres ready for the mot
thanks guys

		You need 205/40r17 for them to fit a 306. Think the 205/50r17 are for 307s

		You might get away with 205/45/17 depending how low your car is.

		205/40/17 is a far more common size than a 45 profile, so would be cheaper, by how much I have no idea
