How to Read Wheel Offset & Measurements
Use these two references before ordering: the left diagram shows where each spec (PCD, center bore, offset, width and diameter) is measured on the wheel; the right diagram shows how positive, zero and negative offset shift the wheel face relative to the hub centerline.
ANKUSI Engineering Expert Advice
Convertibles lose some of the structural rigidity a fixed roof provides, which means the suspension and wheels end up doing more of the work to keep the chassis composed. A forged wheel keeps unsprung mass down without sacrificing the strength margin the factory built in — useful on a platform that's already managing extra flex.
The Peugeot 206 CC ships from the factory on a 4x108 bolt pattern with a 65.1mm center bore and a 15x6J ET27 wheel. Our flush reference for the Peugeot 206 CC is 16x7J ET20.; our maximum aggressive reference is 17x7J ET15. — beyond that, expect clearance issues against the fender liner without further modification.
Peugeot 206 CC OE Wheel Specs
The Peugeot 206 CC ships from the factory on 4x108 bolt pattern wheels with a 65.1mm center bore. The stock wheel size is 15x6J ET27, offering a balanced ride that suits most owners without any rubbing or clearance concerns.
Why the factory spec works for most owners:
- Balances ride comfort with steering response and highway efficiency.
- Wide tire and wheel availability at the factory diameter keeps replacement costs low.
- Lower unsprung weight than larger aftermarket wheels helps ride quality and acceleration.
- Guaranteed clearance against brake calipers and suspension components.
Flush Fitment
For a flush look without any body modification, most Peugeot 206 CC owners run 16x7J ET20. This setup tucks the wheel face closer to the fender lip while staying within safe load and clearance limits.
Maximum Aggressive Fitment
Owners chasing a more aggressive stance push to 17x7J ET15. Bilstein B14 coilovers; 16x7.0J ET20 OZ Racing Superturismo wheels; EBC Greenstuff pads; Yokohama S.drive 205/45 R16 tires. Note: Extremely popular folding hardtop; check roof seals regularly. Clearance should be verified before ordering, especially on lowered cars.
