Hi what must i do for mounting 15 inch rostyle's on a p6 ?
Do i need additional parts or can i mounted them directly?
Maybe chanche the hight of the tire's?
I see rostyle wheels here for sale but the are from P5 so i don't know if i can buy them for my p6.

P5 Rostyles fit straight on to the P6. You just need the correct wheel nuts. BUT, they do not look the same as P6 Rostyles. Once you have seen P6 ones - the centre on these is very domed, sticks out in the middle - the P5 ones never look quite right. They are much flatter in the centre, and they sit well out in the wheel arches.

For tyres you can use 195/ 70 X 15, which gives the same overall diameter as the standard tyres. These do get very close to the D post, but all cars I've seen them on to date have got away without needing the scissor jack mod!

Maybe some one have a picture or know a car on this forum with 15 inch rostyle wheels so i can search the picture ?
Asking price = 350 euro so i want to see it on a p6 before i buy.
thanks Hans

Mine has P5 wheels with 205 tyres - and I did have to 'adjust' the d-posts to suit.
Have a picture.

No, no cutting, just 'encourage' the area with a scissor jack between the boot wall and d-post.

There are some posts on here about this..... But bear in mind I have 205 width tyres which are a bit wide.
According to Chris, 195 tyres need no modification at all.

I rather like the aggressive stance from the bigger rim & wider footprint.

Ok , sure everybody i no need modification with 195 tires ? then tommorow i call the person i buy the p5 wheels :D
 
young Jim, if I may be so bold as to ask, whats in the boot mount ? surely not a spare 205, or is it an optical illusion !!
 
No mate, not a 205/15 on the boot...... Just an original 185/14 spacesaver on an SC rim, as the v8 steels I have will be a bit troublesome on the rear should I need it.

Doesn't look too out of place though, as the rolling radius is nigh on the same :LOL:
 
Indeed it is...... That's what it's there for 8) it looks way to cool to hide away!

And Steve still has my badge :oops:
