i reckon they will be too small for the car if in 17"s mayb but in 15" u need some flat five spokes especially on a car that big i say go for 16" a good balance between the two

I had these on an escort a few years back, payed 100 for em then!!
Trouble is cos the spokes stick out further than the tyre they are very easy to curb.

UPDATE!!!!

dispite what ppl have said, coz they are cheap, mint condition and real good tyres, i'm gonna go for em!!! Well offer him a bit less than above, coz he wants rid.

I know the 306 needs 16"s+, but.......

1) Dont wanna lose any handling
2) dont wanna have to work out £70+ a tyre if i get a puncture
3) I also dont wanna have to swap rims round etc when i come to sell em.
4) I also dont wanna have pricks tryin to nick em!
5) I use the car for lots of miles, and then out on site goin down dirt tracks, thru fields etc. low profile tyres on 16"s wud not be a good idea here!!

DONT WORRY THO - i'm gonna refurb em in dark silver metallic (almost anthracite), which shud take the focus off em a bit, and still looks pretty smart.

Matt

PS: Scott - i think i have seen this pug. It looks sweet slammed on em, but i wont be goin quite that low coz i need to use the car for work (goin down dirt tracks etc)
