-> 206 Problems

#1: Coilovers Author: RoweY, Location: Middlesbrough PostPosted: Thu Jul 11, 2019 5:33 pm

After a bit of advice I’ve fitted some pro sport coilovers that I got cheap, I’ve fit them and now can’t fit my 17” wheels, has anyone had this problem ? I was thinking of just fitting spacers but I want to space it out as little as possible

Why dont they fit?

The wheel hits the bottom on the coilover

Are the 17's OEM wheels/tyres combo? The coilover may be designed with those in mind, or as a multifit across a few Peugeots perhaps(so not 100% compatible)? Can you show us the clearance with some pictures?

I’ve found out I need 40 profile tyres instead of the 45s I have fitted to my 17” vortex so I’ve just ordered some spacers until I need tyres, then I’ll fit some 205/40/17s hopefully they’ll clear

sounds like that's probably the cause, assuming the lack of clearance is that close! What coilovers did you order (out if interest)

I picked some cheap pro sport coilovers cheap to mainly fine the correct ride height, wanting to change to springs eventually.

45 profile was fitted to 16" wheels so 17s will need to be lower ... check tge correct size on somewhere like carbibles site
