I start this thread for general information purpose.
Like many maybe know, i play around with a lot of wheels and tire sizes for the last 14 months under my Panda.
And today that playing around ends by knowing what fits and what not.
So, what do fit 100% without problems:
175/65R14" on 5.5Jx14" offset/ET35.
185/55R15" on 6.0Jx15" offset/ET35.
195/45R16" on 6.5Jx16" offset/ET35.
These tire sizes wil work even with Offset/ET numbers "max 5 down" and "max 3 up".
So what does not fit, most i tested fit but with rubbing signs, a lot on left rear, less on right rear.
Although you not hearing the rubbing (rubber on plastic) the tracks are there to witness.
So what does fit but rubs:
225/40R16" on 7.0Jx16" offset/ET31.
215/40R16" on 7.0Jx16" offset/ET31.
205/50R15" on 6.5Jx15" offset/ET32.
So back on what i have.
Winter wheels: 6.5Jx15" offset/ET32 with 205/50R15" tires, they show signs of rubbing.
Solution for 100% free rubbing, 185/55R15" tires.
Summer wheels: 7.0Jx16" offset/ET31 with 215-225/40R16" tires, they show bigger signs of rubbing.
Solution for 100% free rubbing, 205/45R16" tires.
Cheers,
