wheel sizes

[himindoors]

will the 306 have the clearance for a set 15 wheels or are there width restrictions on tyre size advise please

[Piggy]

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

[pugjohn306]

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

looking at 15 inch with 185 semi low profiles

[himindoors]

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

[Piggy]

185 seems a bit narrow for a 15" wheel.

what wheels are they??

Im 26. But many years of experience working on pugs/cits

[himindoors]

they off a ford, yeh I know a fing ford but they 7 star alloys with nearly new tyres

[Piggy]

you will need some fat spacers and longer studs for ford wheels to fit

[puglove]

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

[Piggy]

oh yeah thats true too

[Curt]

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.

[Piggy]

^^^^already mentioned the offset.

[Curt]

What I was saying is, spacers will cover both offset and centre bore differences. That's what I meant anyway

[puglove]

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

[chippyba]

I've got some ford to pug spacers laying about somewhere if your interested ??

for pug > gen ford or pug > after market ford? could be interested if its a 61mm external spigot.

[chippyba]

Think their after then its 65mm

[puglove]

65.1 is peugeot spigot, after market should be 70mm

[chippyba]

Well they came off his pug with ford 17s but did give other spigot rings

[puglove]

Did you have a set of plastic spigots in the wheel ?

[himindoors]

Did you have a set of plastic spigots in the wheel ?

nope, I not going to bother with them, I on the look out that will fit.
