Quick help needed, 206 nimrod fitment question?

[Matt-Rallye]

Hey guys,

Picked up a set of 206 GTi Nimrods today for £50 with good 195/45/16 tyres from work today.

Are they a direct fit? If spacers are needed then what size?

Many thanks

Spacers mate and longer bolts. 20mm iirc

[Norledge]

No. Minimum 10mm.

Excellent thats spot on guys as i have 20mm spacers already and long bolts, i just need wheels with a shallower ET than cyclones that will fit over the brembos and hopefully not catch the arch when i lower it :/

[Piggy]

No. Minimum 10mm.

ah my bad.

I have gone 20mm I think as I wanted OEM+10mm!

depends which they are, 206 or 406?

either way I bet they have ouragan stamped on the back of the spokes.

Proper 206 GTi nimrods chaps i shall trial them with my 20mm spacers and brembos, worst case... i can just sell them on as they have good tyres

I had to roll my arches slightly with mine, but only the inner lip

wont need 20mm, specifically they will probably bolt on without any especially with just 195 tyres, should really be 205 section tyres on there as well.

I had the ET28 variant on a 309 without spacers at all, only rubbed on the back as it had 205 width, the front fitted fine and the 309 hub has the same spacing from the hub to the strut as a 306.

10-15mm should be the most you need to get it to o.e spacing.

only time you need to go up to 20mm is ford offset wheels (35-38)

nimrods off a 206 need spacers - 10-20mm
oregons off a 406 in my experience still need 10mm spacer to look any good.

[Matt-Rallye]

Im now very confused...

[Piggy]

Tbh, looking at mine this morning, if I only used 10mm spacers, the wheels would be lost!

Just check the ET of the wheels, that minus 19 (ET of Cyclones) and thats the spacer you need to fit them in the exact place as oem
