205/?/16 ?? - Wheels / Tyres Forum - Peugeot 306 GTi-6 & Rallye Owners Club

Post #1

Hello everyone, have a set of PR1.2s that are nearly ready for new tyres and need a good refurb anyway! Ive heard somehwere we can have a max of 205 width on the tyres and get away with it, im interested in doing this but what size sidewalls would i be needing? They are 195/40/15s atm and i think the speedo reads correct. Also any scrubbing issues?

Cheers, James.

ive currently got 205/45/zr16s (Goodyear Eagle F1s). look good and grip well.

if u got 15s at the mo u wudnt wanna get 16s unless u got 16" alloys, from my understanding anyway.

def get the 205/45s thou if u can, look meatier.

I run 195 45 16 but then mines a little lower so think I'd have clearence issues with 205 wide.

THere are a few sets of brembos on here and eBay. Would fit nicely under the 1.2's

Save up and get Ash's 310mm Renaultsport kit instead. A lot better.

205/45 profile is the way forward - it had those on the 1.2s I had on it.

How much am I looking at for a set off brembos? I think I have a dodgy wheel bearing that needs doing first, but will look into them. Just want to get the suspension sorted like you did adam. The power is perfect for me at the moment.

May be the car shakes like hell at 70 and likewise when braking and ive just had the wheels balanced! Why mate?
Think the exhaust is blowing to, its just reminding me its a 306 still :d.

The wheels probably weren't balanced properly. Sounds daft but it's a bit hit and miss these days as to whether or not they get balanced properly.

205/45/16 would be the correct size

205/45/16 as mentioned. That profile sits really nicely on the 306. If you've got 195/40/15 at the moment your speedo will be over reading. They're calibrated for 50 or 55, I can't remember which.

55 is the factory fitted profile on cyclones.

Just to add to this thread, my 16's that are going on will be ET15 with the spacers on and the car's lowered about 55-60mm at the front. Will 205 45's fit or should I stick to 195 50's?

Without correcting the offset of the Nimrods I had at the front I found 205/45/16 was fine, but needed 5mm spacers at the rear. I can't remember the offset of the 'rods though, ET25 maybe?

ET28, I had the same spacer arrangement on a 309 with 205 width tyres.
