Phil Gti 10 Posted May 31, 2015 As the title suggests, I am now ready to buy my wheels and tyres ready for the full re spray of my 205. I would like to know which 16" alloy wheels require little or no modification to fit on a 205 that has been lowered 40mm. What width and offset including tyre sizes too. And suggestions/links for wheels/tyres and suppliers. Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Goliath 94 Posted May 31, 2015 What about 406 Coupe 16" starfish wheels? I think they look quite smart with a degree of 'stock' look about them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phil Gti 10 Posted May 31, 2015 Not so keen on the 406 wheels . Anything deep dish is cool Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Phil Gti 10 Posted June 1, 2015 I have only driven 205's with 15's. As far as I was concerned it was 15's for go and 17's for show. I think proportionality 16's suit the size of wheel arch and car best. I was led to believe they didn't have a negative effect on acceleration or handling like 17's do. The flat 5 spoke wheels are very nice, also keen on deep dish multi spoke designs, even though they are a pain to keep clean Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rallyeash 155 Posted June 1, 2015 16's will be crap, they look to big on a 205 to start with. Stick with 15's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phil Gti 10 Posted June 3, 2015 (edited) I bet you wouldn't say that about a set of genuine 16" Dimma split rims There are some very good original condition 205's out there, I want mine to be a little different. Keep the suggestions coming, thanks Edited June 3, 2015 by Phil Gti Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phil Gti 10 Posted June 18, 2015 I still haven't found a set of wheels for my 205 yet, pls keep the suggestions coming. Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
