will c5 alloys fit a xantia

Post by ianscar »

wrecked one of my alloys on series 2 xantai with 195/65/15

wondering if i can use alloys from a c5, if they would fit as they appear to be the same 4 stud fitment and the model i'm looking at had the same tyre size as mu xantia

C5 II tires are 16" (205/55 R16 as marked in reg.) and tire bolts need 17 mm hex socket.
Xantia II tires 15" and 19 mm bolts.
I think C5 MK1 tires are size 15" and they might fit but I don't know bolt size.

Edit: I had check papers and also spare tire. According to that new information
Mine C5 II Petrol Estate has tires 215/55 R16 93W in the official documents.

C5 Mk1s seem to vary, all the V6s (including mine) I've looked at have had 205/55R16s, but other models seems to have 205/65R15. Mine are 17mm bolts too.

Mine were 205/65R15 with 17mm bolts on the estate. They are the same on the saloon but some of the bolts are 14mm

forgot all about the bolt size as i was too busy getting the bolt spacing and hub diameter right.
Sometimes you can't see the wood for the trees.
From the info i've got so far it seems then that the early c5 models have the correct bolt spacing/centrehub ok/but i need to check the stud thread and head sizes .
