Has anyone here had any problems with fitting a set of cyclones on there 206?
I have just down sized from 17" vortex wheels to a set of 15" cyclones and they still catch the back end when I have a car full.
I have 195/55/15 tyres on and it is apparently catching on the rear bumper bracket when I have rear passengers.
Has anyone else had a similar problem because it is getting highly frustrating, to thepoint that I wish had stuck with my 17" vortex wheels. Please advise if anyone can
Cheers pete

Not according to the lad I bought it off 6 mths ago, is there any way of checking to make sure, as I took it to a garage last weekend and he said that it was standard height?

Cyclones are 306 alloys they have a slight different offset and as a result sit futher out

i had a set of cyclones on my 206 and they sat slightly wider (noticeable on the front) cant remember them scrubbing on the back though. What size tyres are you running?

I am running 195/55/15, had my car checked out by a trusty mechanic at the weekend and they said all is fine with the rear of the car, and that it is the offset of the wheels, so I think I will have to put up with it until I can get a set of nimrod's or worse case get a set of scirocco's which I am not a fan of but since they are proper 206 wheels they should be ok, anyone wanna swap a set just let me know?
Cheers pete
