I have the old 205 1.6gti 14 inch alloys on my 106 (they came with it and extra wheels were readily available and cheap - although at 28lbs were 7 more than the standard wheel tyre combo).
I was wanting to put on the maximum tyre size that would fit to increase the ground clearance slightly, and reduce the gearing (the car is used mainly on long journeys to eastern europe where the roads are fairly straight, but not very well upkept, and mainly with just two of us in the car).
It came with 165/65/14 tyres originally, but i got four 185/60/14s with wheels from a breaker to get it through its MOT last year. These reduced the mudflaps grounding a little, but rub in the rear arches somewhere. I thought it would be the additional width, but placed on
6mm spacers which made no difference.I am not much bothered with width - but does anyone know the largest tyre height (widthxprofile) that would fit - keeping the same size on front and rear and still permit 5 people and some bags to be carried on the rare times it happens?
