Max Wheel Width For A 205 1.9?

[Guest Kit]

I've seen some 15x8 ET25 wheels that I like allot, i'm actually used to driving a 205 without PAS and ET15 14x6.5 wheels, I was thinking about running them with a stretch of 195/40 and getting the arches rolled, will this be sufficient?

To fit I think you'll need spacers to bring the ET to 0 when I test fitted J8's with ET0 it was pretty tight. they will stick out but with 190/50's on them the tyre should be with in the arch, but not ideal.

Would i be right in saying that the hub to suspension would have to be more than 12.7cm on a et25 8x15 wheel?

 

I would get more clearance on coilovers wouldn't I, or is it the rear which poses the problem?

You gain no real benifit on coilovers in terms of wheel clearance, it's the hub offset, 1.6 hubs would give a 10mm more clearance, but that would be a whole host os fun swapping them them just for the sake of spacers.
