you need spacers to fit these on, my pal got a set for his 106 and had to get pugeot ecosse to custom build him them I think they were around the £140 mark

just looked into it a bit and they are a direct fit if they've come off a 406 but if they are off a 206 gti you will need spacers:y:

My boss has these in 16 inch on his 406, I am always pestering him for them ;)
the 15 inch and 16 inch are slightly different looking, not sure what it is, but the 15s dont look as nice

Yes they will bolt on fine. Might have to check the tyre size on them as they may rub.

The tyres are way too big for my car what would you recommend? Low profile tires? The tyres that are on them at the minute are 195/65 R15

yeah thats way too big. Go for 195/45/15 thats the standard tyre size for VTS alloys.

Thanks mate do you think they will be a straight fit then or might they still rub and need wheel spacers?

They will bolt on fine as the stud patterns the same. You may need different wheel nuts will either be tapered or flat ones.
Chances are it will rub on the rear. Had a quick read and most people grind back on the inside of the arch and/ or roll the outer arch out slightly. Have a google or use the search bar up top plenty of people have done it before.

Sorry to jump in on this but I thought strike whilst the iron is hot. Would 16" Nimrods fit a 2001 vtr?
