GentsLooking at these as they are cheap and same size as my speedlines so could work well as a track wheel...
Any idea what they are like clearance wise? Do we think they would clear my hispec brakes? (303mm disc)

specifically you need 15mm spacers to correct the et28 16x6.5 to a better offset to suit a 306.________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

Ah right what a ball ache, I'm not wild on the idea of spacers and long bolts, the search continues...Some on here may have seen them on eBay? Nimrods with Avon ZZR's, any opinions on that tyre? |

You can get Nimrods from a 406 which have a lower offset. Might be better suited than using them from a 206 with spacers.________________________________________ '98 Nile Blue 306 GTi 6 |

theyre still only et20, though you'll probably get away without spacers, et28 will actually bolt up without on the front.________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

I had some 15 inch nimrods on my rallye. I think I had some 5 mm spacers on maybe. They were fine then. But they were as soft as cheese! |

I had a set of 16" nimrods on the dead 306 I bought. They fitted fine, no spacers on the front just 5mm on the rear because it ran 215 on the front. Fitted fine and looked great! ________________________________________ Astra burg #365 Garrett Power'99 bodied 6 track project |
