Hi
I'm going to be lowering my 206 CC SE by about 30 MM and getting some nice wheels
(OZ SUPER T's - 17inch)

What size tyres can I fit in the arches wiothout any problems

I've currently got the 16 inch allows with 205 wheels which arnt a problem.

Thanks for any help.

Put the wheel on first before considering lowering. On 205/40-17 the diameter is the same as your current wheel without affecting the speedometer. I reckon you could get 20mm easily, but the guy lowering the car will be about to advise ya

Fit 205/40 X 17's

Will I really notice the difference between 16's and 17's if the tyres are still 205 ???

I spose it'll notice cos its going to be lowered but 700 quid ish is alot of cash to spend on something that might not stand out..

But who am i to say... I just drive the damn thing...

I've jsut got the OZ volcanoes fitted and they look lush...

205 40 17's (17 inch wheel)

Fits no problem on the 206 CC....

If I was you and you were going for something that stands out and looks good - go for the volcanoes - and 17'ers....

And if anyonre says they wont fit - they lie !

south coast wheels fitted mine - superb service.

Thanks for the reply, I am about to check out the OZ wheels you mentioned ,also the 1000Miglia Spiders.

Yeha theyre nice - the OZ's are slightly more recessed - and that makes alot of difference..

Also take a look at the "big deep" by TSW

What the difference in ride quality, are bumps really noticable now? i am comtemplating 16 or 17's

M275 · Post by **M275** » Mon Mar 04, 2002 11:54 am

slightly more bump... not really noticeable though.. will be when it gets lowered :Â¬)

The overall wheelsize is the same also
bigger wheel - lower profile.

One thing to watch (which i learnt at my own expense) is kerbing em !! - no rubber sticking out the sides !!! just alloy
