hi im new to the site, i bought a 206 about 2weeks ago any mine come with 308 sport wheels on, they should be 225/ 17 tyres standard but the old owner has put 205/40/17s on also has wheel spacers, but when i removed the wheel to change a wheel bearing the wheels were only holding on by a few threads on the wheel nuts, so its un safe, ive tryed every were to find longer bolts so i can use these alloys on my 206 again they are flat seat type wheel bolts, could anyone help me out on finding new wheel bolds flat seat type but longer than standard size thanks thanks gaz

You are going the hard way about it all. Remove the spacers, job done.
They are not needed.

Firstly theyve got the right tyres on the wheels. 225 width tyres would have scrubbed on full lock like a fat ladies thighs.
That aside. If your after flat seated bolts on eBay look for 55mm Peugeot bolts. The longer thread length OEM bolts only come in that length and then you have to grind them down to your desired length.
308s have different offsets light to the 206 which is why there's spacers fitted to them as iirc 308 have et34 upwards, which would mean theyd catch on the spring seat on the strut.
What size wheel spacers are on the car..? Also what type..? As this could be the cause of wheel bearing damage.

I found that the 308 PcD was 27. Shoul be fine on a 206.

Hmm...thats fair enough then, was looking at servicebox the other day and certain wheels were showing that offset.
You should have a problem with 5mm spacers and standard bolts. But...
