Help with tyres please

Hi All,
I have 205 40 17 tyres on alloys at the mo, but 3 are getting low.
I've just been offered some 225 45 17 tyres and alloys off a 307 would these fit a 206cc ?

Cheers Jay

They might ... 307 might have different offset so wheels could rub on suspension or wing. The tyres probably would fit your wheels although we'd need the rim width to be sure.

But the tyres have a much larger diameter so your speedo/odometer will be out of sync and they may look very odd.

If you want to compare the two tyres have a look on http://www.carbibles.com/tyre_bible_pg4.html ... scroll down to "A tyre size calculator" section and type on old and new tyres values ..

Hi All,
I bought the wheels Fox R Alloys with 225 45 17 tyres, the alloys go on fine but the tyre touches the mud flap on the front. Only tried one and put the old alloy back on.
