Cheers!!! i got them on 1 of my pugs, dont know the offset but they do need spacering out a bit on the back of a 205, but if youv got a 309 beam they clear ok,front are not a problem tho they bolt straight on!

welshpug 1,622 Posted December 30, 2008 (edited) ET28 the 15" ones are, Tombo iirc used to have some on his 205 IIRC, and my mate Pugtop has some on his 205. they will fit on a 1.6 without spacers as long as the sidewall isn't too fat, otherwise its 3mm spacer you need, a 1.9 would need about a 10mm spacer. or as mentioned, on a 309 beam they go straight on and you don't even have any outer arch clearance issues, ideal!

So the difference on the front isnt going to make that much of a difference to the handling? I have 309 front and rear set up on the car at the moment.....

Baz 421 Posted December 30, 2008 Nope, depleting the point in adding the 309 setup in the first place, apart from the bigger rear bars and -neg. front camber of course. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BackStreetRacecars 3 Posted January 2, 2009 A few things just to clear this up for me..... What is the et of the mi wheels (et 28 or 29) and the et of the standard 1.9 wheels? Why does it rub on a 1.9 and not a 1.6? gearbox? the hub difference? What width are the wheels? Cheers! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshpug 1,622 Posted January 2, 2009 1.9 and Mi16 wheels are both 6j, the reason they do not rub as badly on a 1.6 is the hubs and drums, they have a greater offset (hence the slightly wider track of a 1.6) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
