#1: 16" ALLOYS and 40mm lowering springs Author: rx3mer, Location: .........Posted: Wed Apr 20, 2011 6:02 am ---- Hello,
I have quick question, it might sound stupid but I`m not very sure so i want to ask you guys.
I found good wheels for sale they are 16" inch but it says 2 FRONTS ARE 205 WITH REARS ARE 195 WIDTH... why is that? I don`t want to be silly but is that how the model comes original?
My other question is I have 206 1.1i yr98 and If i get the 16" Alloys would the car be fine if I lower it by 40mm. I found some cheep springs and im really up for buying them if everything is gonna be fine. I am only replacing the springs

"the height it the same, and its not a MOT failure unless the are different sizes on the same axel so front and rear can be different there only like that as we used it on a lowered car and stops the rear catching the arch Cheers "
I guess that means 40mm will be fine (happy) !

Thinking of lowering mine.
