Hi all,
Does anyone know if the 16" alloys from a 406 coupe will fit the saloon.
if so will the coupe alloys take a 225 55 16 tyre.
Only reason I ask is because I have 4 tyres with less tha 100 miles on them from my old car and am looking at the options.
Cheers.

The coupe is *extremely* picky about its wheels due to the huge brembo callipers up front
<steve_earwig> I think this forum is more about keeping our cars going with minimal outlay than giving our cars more reason to go bang

Thanks mjb
I understand that the coupe calipers are bigger than the saloons, if I'm going from coupe to saloon wouldn't that mean just more space around the saloon calipers
