Will 7" Wide Wheels Go On Standard 1.9 ?

[Silky 33 1 Cars]

As the title says really.....15x7 will they go on fine ?

[C_W 3 1 Cars]

Yes. Of course, they must be the right peugeot offset. Many aftermarket 15" wheels are 7" wide (TSWs, Momo etc)

i have some compomotive TH's which are 15x8, they have an offset of 0, how on earth do i get these on without messing the handling up and also does any company do flared arch extensions?

 

this is for a racecar by the way so road use is not applicable.

ET15......think thats about right for a 205

[C_W 3 1 Cars]

ET15 will be fine, I know my old 7" TSW Stealths were that. My 7" Fondmetal wheels are ET11 and fit fine too.

 

I think with an 8" rim and 0 offset then the you will have the rim sticking out quite a bit from the front arch; the back might actually be flush or sticking out very slightly.

I take it its ok to go low using these wheels then, not massive 60mm drop or anything, just a normal 30mm. Rubbing shouldn't be a problem should it

I have 15x7 speedline corse gold wheels and its ok.

 

they are ET15 or 16, I can remember correctly.

 

It does not need any spacer ring or anything like that

they came off a 205 racecar and he swears blind that he ran standard arches, ive put them on with no tyres and they must stick out by a good inch.

 

Dimma arches perhaps.

[Batfink 201]

wayne was your car a 1.9 or 1.6 originaly?

[tom_m 0]

my old 16s were 7.5in and they fitted perfectly. both front and back lined up with the arches perfectly, not sure what the offset was though.

 

i've got a set of ford 16s and a 20mm spacer, but not tried fitting them yet but they are 7.5 too and i'm hoping they will line up the same

1.9, i believe his racecar was a 1.6 originally but it ran spacers to take it out to 1.9 track width - still ran standard arches he reckons.

[pacey205 2]

But the 1.6 has a wider front track then the 1.9 as standard anyway :S

well he has spacers on the rear not the front

[Guest Michael MRK]

that's weird, cos i got a 15x7 rims, but on ta 205 GR, added a 16mm spacers, and it didn't work out, and after some calculations, i discovered that i need like 35mm spacer to be put inorder to fit in, here is the rim picture

My skip is running 7x15 wheels with an offset of 25, so I run a 10mm spacer at the back but none on the front. It has 1.6 hubs at the front and a 1.9 beam. I expect to need the spacers for the front when I switch to 1.9 hubs at the front

Fancy a swap for some 16x8" TH's ?

I run 15x7s on one of my 1.6s, have done for years without spacers, no problems, couldn't tell you straight off what offset they are though.

[matty_gti 20]

Ive got 7-17" chrome on my 1.6, they have a huge offest of 38, which i have 10mm spacers at the frot and 23-4mm on the back, but there now up 4 sale.
