peugeot 206's are 4x108 so even with wobble bolts they woldnt fit unfortunatly so you will have to sell them on like matty says and get s some vauxhall wheels, will look better anyways :)

If you take them to a local engineer they will be able to drill a second set of bolt holes so they fit on your car :)

that would depend how different the holes are apart, if they were closerthan about 10mm they probly wudnt.

think of multi fit wheels, they manage to get 4x100 and 4x108 pattern on one wheel no probs.

yh it cud be possible, but you could do all that and then the offset will be wrong, think its et25 for a 206.

i personaly dont like multifit wheels there never looks like enough meat between the holes to handle any abuse :lol:

essexjhon do you rekon that would work because there on ebay now for 150 thats what i payed for them there been on ebay for two days and no bids yet but they got about 8 days left so after that if they dont sell i am going to put them in the yellow paper see how that goes but can it cause any other problems drilling extra holes apart from the et cheers.

The wheels on my old astra gsi had this done to them and they were fine, but depends on the offset, normally 206 are et25 so you'd need spacers to bring the wheel further out in the arch. May work out cheaper the sell them and get new wheels!
