17 inch alloys on an estate - Willo - 06-02-2013
Right it's as the title however will I have major clearance issue on the rear and will they fit in general
RE: 17 inch alloys on an estate - Jonny81191 - 06-02-2013
Shouldn't be an issue, depends what offset and how low you want to go.
RE: 17 inch alloys on an estate - Willo - 06-02-2013
Back will prob stay standard with a 40 mm drop on the front am thinking of sticking with peugeot rims just don't know which ones

That's just sealed the deal for me I'm off to eBay lol
RE: 17 inch alloys on an estate - puglove - 06-02-2013
40mm you shouldnt have any issues atall
RE: 17 inch alloys on an estate - Willo - 06-02-2013
Now I just got to decide on some rims then
What tyre size should I be using
RE: 17 inch alloys on an estate - HDIkyle - 06-02-2013
Mostly 205/40 is best for 306 with minimal rear rubbing
Re: 17 inch alloys on an estate - Dan! - 06-02-2013
195 or 205 with 40 profiles
RE: 17 inch alloys on an estate - Dum-Dum - 06-02-2013
205/40 is best but 205/45 or even 215 will work
This is my HDi estate (now Jonnys) it had a 40mm drop at the front and standard rear
RE: 17 inch alloys on an estate - Oil-burner - 06-02-2013
205 50 17s are pretty much exactly the same rolling radius as 195 55 15's you get standard on the clones/lazers etc

Here's mine, I'm running 15mm spacers all round but I would say 20mm is needed on the back really.

Hockenheims. Nice, was gonna get a set of these for my DT before I laid my hands on my arianes.
RE: 17 inch alloys on an estate - Willo - 10-02-2013
Yeah think they look really smart
Re: 17 inch alloys on an estate - WiNgNuTz - 10-02-2013
If I get a chance later, I might grab a pic of your car from your project thread, and photoshop the Hockenheims on for you, so you can see what they look like. In tapafail at the moment.
RE: 17 inch alloys on an estate - 306GT30 - 10-02-2013

Each to their own mate, I think they look pretty sweet.
And willo, go for it, hopefully should be at a pc with photoshop capabilities in the next couple of hours.

RE: 17 inch alloys on an estate - Willo - 10-02-2013
Mot first then I will be looking for a set of these and dropping the front 40mm
RE: 17 inch alloys on an estate - Birk - 10-02-2013
Looks toss, invest in colour coding with a better bumper and a cut n polish 1st I'd say, try getting wheels that are out of the ordinary.
RE: 17 inch alloys on an estate - Willo - 10-02-2013
Till it passes the mot I ain't spending nothing lol then it needs a good once over with some g3 or similar and I'm on the look out for a phase 3 bumper already got crystals to put back in them phase 2 lights am on loan because the crystals I put in got smashed and 2 helpful gents off here sorted me out with some new crystals then when weather is better I'm gonna smooth and vent the bonnet smooth tailgate and relocate the number plate and I need a new rear bumper then I want some 17's gonna lower the front need to try get that dent out the front wing or replace the front wing
