16" Alloy Wheel Links?

[Phil Gti 11]

As the title suggests, I am now ready to buy my wheels and tyres ready for the full re spray of my 205.

 

I would like to know which 16" alloy wheels require little or no modification to fit on a 205 that has been lowered 40mm. What width and offset including tyre sizes too.

 

And suggestions/links for wheels/tyres and suppliers.

 

Cheers

Don't do it!!! Go 15x7!!!!!

 

Just my thoughts

What about 406 Coupe 16" starfish wheels? I think they look quite smart with a degree of 'stock' look about them.

Not so keen on the 406 wheels .

 

Anything deep dish is cool

These get my vote-

7x15 on 195/50/15 dished and lowered

 

Just watch if you want to fit big brakes with dished wheels

16's will fit but add weight and more expensive tyres.

And drive like a massive bag of turd

I have only driven 205's with 15's. As far as I was concerned it was 15's for go and 17's for show. I think proportionality 16's suit the size of wheel arch and car best. I was led to believe they didn't have a negative effect on acceleration or handling like 17's do.

 

The flat 5 spoke wheels are very nice, also keen on deep dish multi spoke designs, even though they are a pain to keep clean

16's will be crap, they look to big on a 205 to start with. Stick with 15's.

[Phil Gti 11]

I bet you wouldn't say that about a set of genuine 16" Dimma split rims

 

There are some very good original condition 205's out there, I want mine to be a little different.

 

Keep the suggestions coming, thanks

[Phil Gti 11]

I still haven't found a set of wheels for my 205 yet, pls keep the suggestions coming.

team dynamics pro race 1.2's ?

 

I have both 15 and 16" for sale

[Phil Gti 11]

Thanks for the offer but it is not the style I am after.

 

 

What wheel dimensions will I be looking for 15 & 16" wheels?
