My dealer told me that 16" will fit, but dont hold me responsible if they don't!

Not that straightforward, Graham - diameter is only part of the problem - you need to get wheels with the right PCD, centre bore and offset.

Cars with the same PCD and Center Bore:

Citroen AX (4 bolts) - (Offset: 20)
Citroen Berlingo - (Offset: 18)
Citroen BX - (Offset: 25)

Offset is 25 on the ds3 except for the racing, which is 17, apparently. Then you've got to make sure that the diameter of the wheel + tyre is the same as the ds3 (I think that you can look this up?).

[Graham225]

So am I correct in thinking these would be the ones that fit the DS3. Citroen BX - (Offset: 25).

Or use others with spacers :eek:

[John Nicol]

Ds3 steel wheels retail at £54.81 each inc vat I can supply for £42.48 each if anyone intrested? Quite alot of cash for 4!

I don't think that's a bad price - there were secondhand citroen wheels on ebay at 40 quid each when I last looked. Presumably these are what are fitted to the DSIGN, what size tyres do they take?

[John Nicol]

Tyre size would be 195 55 16

Several others would be OK - you shouldn't have any problems with a millimetre or two difference in offset.

You'll most likely need new bolts as well - both the seating & the length for steel wheels will almost certainly be different; then you may want wheel trims to hide the steel wheels . . . may be as cheap to buy a second set of alloys!

[Graham225]

Agree prob cheaper to buy a set of alloys, seen decent sets for £300 plus 4 winter tyres about £550 all in not bad I guess in the long run both sets of tyres will last longer.
