306s have a very similar offset requirement to a 406 anyway so spacers shouldn't be necessary. If you'd rather be sure though, post all of the numbers that you can see on the wheels (inside & outside) & I should be able to tell you the offset.

Hi the magic numbers are

61/2J x 15 ch4-20

I guess that means an offset of 20 then?
I need to buy the studs and offsets - any guidance to make sure i buy the right ones would be great

Thanks

That is exactly right. Offset of 20mm & no spacers required. Funnily enough, I've seen a couple of 406s with Swallow alloys & they don't look too bad on there. Swallows are the ones with the circular holes in them, yes? As fitted to the earlier 306 Meridian models, before they started fitting the GTi Cyclone wheels.
