17 inch alloys on an estate

[Willo]

Right it's as the title however will I have major clearance issue on the rear and will they fit in general

[Jonny81191]

Shouldn't be an issue, depends what offset and how low you want to go.

[Willo]

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

Direct from Brazi

[Willo]

That's just sealed the deal for me I'm off to eBay lol

[puglove]

40mm you shouldnt have any issues atall

[Willo]

Now I just got to decide on some rims then

What tyre size should I be using

[HDIkyle]

Mostly 205/40 is best for 306 with minimal rear rubbing

[Dan!]

195 or 205 with 40 profiles

[Dum-Dum]

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

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.

[WiNgNuTz]

Hockenheims. Nice, was gonna get a set of these for my DT before I laid my hands on my arianes.

[Willo]

Yeah think they look really smart

[WiNgNuTz]

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.

[306GT30]

Hockenheims look like shit imho, ive had them and sold them after 1 day of ownage

[Willo]

That would be great if you can mate if I've got one on pc ill upload it on this thread

Is that one any good

[WiNgNuTz]

Hockenheims look like shit imho, ive had them and sold them after 1 day of ownage

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.

---

Yeah that one should be ok, ill see what I can do with it in a bit mate.

[Willo]

Cheers mate appreciate it

[WiNgNuTz]

[Willo]

I like that thanks mate repped

[WiNgNuTz]

Did a spot of lowering too, bit dodgy, but its im used to photoshop CS6, and im using an ancient copy of elements on this machine.

---

Glad you like it. I think it looks pretty good, just get it done now!

[Willo]

Mot first then I will be looking for a set of these and dropping the front 40mm

[Birk]

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.

[Willo]

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
