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

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.
