1.9 205 Alloys on 406......Will they be ok?

[Mastiff]

Do you think these will be ok on my 406 110 HDI.......

She has as standard 195/65/15 Steelies

I have some 205 1.9 GTI wheel with 195/50/15's

So the wheel size is ok but the drop in tyre size, ie the 50's compared to the 65's..... Will that be ok or will it knock the speedo out by a good few MPH and could they do other damage due to the profile??

As long as the brakes are not too big to fit inside the wheels

A friend of mine has got 205gti alloy wheels on his 406

its a 1.9td with standard brakes whatever size they would be

Arghhh my eyes, my eyes!!

What has he done to that ?:shock:

whats the front bumper made of?..... plasticine????

Im sorry mate but to me that looks gopping, to coin an old Yorkshire saying.

just my opinion like

[tenwierdufos]

Haha, its not your average 406 i will give you that

[mada2607]

cheers nick.

not to worry polski i get alot of people not liking it. i know its not the smoothest but i like it as it is.

the wheels will fit fine just try not to use the stick on weights as i had a problem with them catching on the callipers.

oh and make sure you get some slightly longer than standard French alloy wheels bolts with the flat face

[tenwierdufos]

I think the standard ones are quite long allready (standard alloy wheel ones)

[Mastiff]

Thanks guys

I will see if they fit, if so they will be fitted to my 406.

I dont have alloy wheel bolt though, just the steel one's that are on my wheels at the mo'.......Can I not use the steel bolts? If not a mate of mine is breaking a 306 XSI that has alloy bolts, would these be ok to use?

no the steel wheel bolts with the taper wont grip properly

the ones from the 306 might fit but dont hold me to it. i got mine off ebay cheap enough clicky click

New fuel flap? Look much better for a polish I reckon.

I wanted to put my 205 wheels with semi-slicks on the 406 when I took it to a track day, but they fouled on the front brakes. (Standard single-pot calipers with 283 mm discs).
