will they fit

[T_Pot]

I have been offered a set of alloys, from a pugeot 206, 4 stud fitting, and im told they will possibly fit my chim (93)

would anyone know off hand if they do before i travel to try them ?

thanks for any help you can give

I think Peugot wheels are only suitable for the fronts, dont think the offsets clear on the rear?

You need to find the wheel size & offset in addition to the PCD. Someone may then be able to confirm.

They should be the same 108 PCD

[T_Pot]

thanks for the reply spend, i was told, (so not sure if correct) that pug wheels had a deeper offest, so would fit. but as i say, from the seller, so not sure if true or not

[Bomber Denton]

the PCD will be right but a lot of the Peugeot wheels had an offset of ET18, fine for the front but miles out on the rear.

[T_Pot]

thanks bomber, what ET do i need to look for?

i believe the pcd 4 x 108, is this right>?


thanks for the help, sorry for the typical newbiee questions

Hi there

I´ve got OZ-Wheels that i have also seen on Pugs. The papers for my car state them to have ET 27 and i use 15 mm spacers front and rear although the rears do rub a little when driven hard with 2 people in the car. This setup was on the car when i bought it. Do you think it has adverse effects for the handling?

Cheers Jens

Good thread. I want to put 17" fronts and 18" rears on mine. I want the 225 section rears, not 245s. Can anyone tell me what size and offsets I need for all these? Thanks.

[Paulo.dicanio]

Im not 100% sure but I have a feeling that the 206 wheels use a different offset to the ET 15 the older Peugeots use. Im not sure but I would check it out though.

This is a useful offset calculator, which might be of help.

I'm not surprised that they rub. At the front standard is 25mm so you'd be better off with no spacer. At the rear you have a net 12mm offset which is 20mm out.

the pug wheels are an offset of 25,

does this mean they will fit ok ?

Offset is 1" front 1.25" rear so front offset is fine, rear should be OK. PCD is a 3" square so 108 is near as damn it, check centre bore (and rim widths for your proposed tyre sizes.)

thank you JR

shall go try them in the week now

thanks for all the help

I once tried some et25 cerb wheels, and they wouldn't sit on the hub as they fouled on the chassis. If they are skinny wheels they may be OK, but do you really want skinny alloys?

That's an odd statement for three reasons:-
ET 25 is the factory fitment for Chims.
Cerb standard wheels have an ET 35.
Cerbs have five studs to the Chim's four, unless you have had the hub conversion.

[spend]

Yes I have 5 studs - but the hubs are still in the the same place. I was under the impression that cerb extra wheel width equated to a std et25 and was trying not to muddy the waters so to speak.. offset is obviously only pertinent when width is specified. To me its seems rears go on the front Ok'ish, but fronts on the rears require spacers, just a rule of thumb So he needs to check the internal clearance at the rear over full suspension travel I reckon.

Me I wouldn't want to change the wheel c/l - I only tried the cerb ones when I was swapping / cleaning wheels (had them for spare tyres TBH )

Another odd statement. Cerb was designed with ET 35 all round. I guess that you have the retrofit spiders.

In any event on a Chim ET 25 is the starting point for standard width rims and tyres, not "skinny ones"

Why is that odd? Cerbs are fitted with fronts all round, I use the same wheels as all the other T-cars. The cerb is the odd one out as regards hub positioning across all the post 90'ish cars AFIK. Where 'proper' rears have been stuck on cerbs you will see a fair bit of contact on the wheel arch.
