17" wheels

Ypwpat · Post by **Ypwpat** » Mon Sep 09, 2002 10:15 am

HI i was thinking to put 17" wheels into my 206cc but the Mechanics in Australia said it's not recommended to put 17" into 206.
But if i put 17" will it mean to sacrifice the ride and comfort? Does the car have a better Handling?
Thx

what was the reason peugeot gave for not having 17's?

Anyway ride and confort will be affected, but you can live with that as the car will look so cool on 17s!!

btw i was thinking of lowering the car, but want to do the wheels and lowering on the different time. Just wandering which one i should do first? SHould i lowering the car first before putting the 17" wheels or wheels first then lowering it? Or is it just nothing different if doing it either way?

I took the cheaper option first.

17s maybe later on this year. Now, where is my wallet?

Mines been lowered by 40mm and Ive got 17inches (ooer) its not a problem at all

even thogh the wheels are larger - the tyres are lower profile so te overall diameter doesnt change.
