Yes but for the ride height of a GTI6/top end 306, 17's look ridiculous. Do you really think Peugeot would redesign the whole car to the extent they lowered the front to make 17's look better?
Fact of the matter is Peugeot fitted 15's. You can get much nicer wheels in 16" and 17", but it wasn't the kind of car to have money spent on lightweight 16"+ wheels. The cyclones do a job just fine. They were originally a GTI-only standard wheel with the '96 phase 1 and later moved on to higher spec Meridians etc, much like almost all car manufacturers do now.
Some 17's do look good on a 306. Some look crazy. The 306 was always understated so why would Peugeot fit a 17" wheel to a car as standard to appeal to the odd boy racer? And iirc.. aren't the SP's 16"?
