hi

i am new to the 306 scene and i have some questions about wheels, spacers and stuff

i have got some 16" oz alloy wheels,, that require 15mm spacers, i have had the wheels ballanced and when i get to speeds over 60mph the wheels play up,, vibrating like mad,, i took them back to tha ballancing place and the bloke checked the wheels and said the wheels are fine and blamed the spacers,, the spacers are wolfrace hubsentric and are brand new...

so

i have been offered some standard 14" 106 gti alloy wheels that are perfectly ballanced but in need of 2 tyres,,

i am just after any advice/pointers as i dont know what to do for the best Sad

If you own a gti6 the 14" wont fit as they are to small and dont clear the front brake caliper.

Sounds like the spacers may have the wrong spigot rings in them.

OZ do proper spacer kits for Ford > Peugeot fitment which click into the wheel and balance perfectly.

I think your TD brakes will be fine with 14" wheels but I'd get the correct spacers for the OZ's personally (provided they are either Super L's or Super T's Happy) and get some GTi-6 brakes.
