been doing a bit of searching since i bought a set of 16" vulcan alloys.

it seems peugeot make a 6.0J x 15"

and a 6.5J x 16" along with a 5.0J x 13"

what does this mean ? i have no clue about wheels ?

Gary theyl fit mate stop worrying

have alook at this them wheels are listed for 406 from the horses mouth,



hope this helps if any,

oh yea have alook at the price of them too

First number is the width of the rim Gary

I don't think it is, but it's close to width in inches

they make a vulcan alloy for the 206 as well .

what offset should they be if there true 406 wheels ?

Doesn't the 406 allow for ET of 15-25?
206 is ET 20-25 I believe

So in theory could be same wheel

will it say ET ? ? on the wheel itself ? ive never took notice of that before.

It's usually stamped on the inside of the rim

If you're going by those online fitment guides, they're utter bo**ocks for offsets. 206 & 307 wheels have a masssively different offset to 406 ones (which have a ridiculously small offset anyway), but according to those fitment guides all Peugeots & Citroens are 15-25mm. My Hoggar & Nautilus wheels are a 12mm offset. Those Ebay Vulcans are 99.9% dead cert 406 fitment. The tyre size is a dead giveaway as 215/55s are way too big to have been original fitment for anything smaller.

The offset is 13 to 23 and those wheels are for 406's , the correct tyre
size is 205 x 55 x 16 which i have but dont see 215's being a problem .

cheers stu

They used 205/55s on all the saloons & estates with 16s (SRi, S, SE & late Execs), but for some reason Coupes all have 215/55s. I've got 215/55s on mine & never had a problem. Slightly less room to get your hands in to clean out the arches, but that's it. Next time I have to buy tyres (which won't be for a while as I still have good tyres on a good set of Hoggars) I'll be whacking on some 225/50s to give a better footprint & protect the wheels a bit.

just looking at tyres myself for the vulcans.

i will leave the 215s on cos there new but next time round i will put 205s on.

this guy in macclesfield is probably the best priced tyre garage in england. ive been to him before for a set of 4 tyres a few years ago.

look at these , 4 brand new budget tyres for 144 quid carnt beat that

my tres now 205 60 15 seem to be higher in price than the 16s tyres. the 16s must be more popular hence cheaper in price.
