not without 10mm spacers matebest thing to do is look for some 16" ougrans(sp) off a 406.same style as the nimrods but come in et18 which is perfect for the 6  |

They are, i had them on my black one, yep spacers needed.....they were a pain in the ass having to line them up every time the wheels came off.....I thought they were Nimrods too when i had them.....Nice wheels though, i've got an image in the gallery under Musclebeach mate ________________________________________ VW Golf GT TDI 115, 100k nooooooooooooooooooooo! |

arigti6 wrote: In other words look out for a 406 taxi to leave on bricks Exactly! hahaThey're quite hard to come by. It took me quite some time to find a set. They were only available on "S" models of the 406 from '04 onwards if I remember correctly. Earlier models had them, but they were always 15" until '04. ________________________________________ 2000 (W) Phase 3 China Blue GTi-61999 (T) Phase 3 Nile Blue GTi-6 |

Can some one please help me with this i'm getting confused i've read on here some where you need spacers to run nimrods my confussion is i read at least 10mm on the back is this so but surely they need spacers allround? So i have nimrods approx at least -40mm drop prob more currantly with 205/45's would 195/45's be better?

205 45 you need, 10mm spacers all round required on the ET28 versions, but the front will fit without dependent on sidewall chunkiness, I'd fit spacers to be on the safe side and push the wheels out in the arch a little.TBH though, though they look nice they do weigh a LOT, so I'd be having second thoughts having experienced a car with very light wheels and a very minimal drop on good suspension. ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |
