                  Wheels for the DS3 are PCD 4 X 108, Offset 25 Rim width 7j.
                  Tyres can be 205 or 215 and standard is 45 profile, although other profiles can be used but will affect speedo readings (Mine are currently 40 profiles)

                    I kept my Winter tyres(Avon Ice Touring ST) from my C4, and have bought a 2nd hand set of 16inch Ashera's to put them on. Winter tyres are not just for snow, they perform better at anything under 7 degrees, hardly aquaplane, and are good on icy roads.

                      Yea I'm thinking about getting a set of them for mine too and was wondering the same... Living in the Lakes, our roads can get quite icy. Nearly caught the wall outside work within the first few week of getting the car in Feb.

                              especially considering that they're already mounted and balanced on a new set of steel wheels. Shipping not too bad either!
