Tomorrow I'll be driving past my favourite powder coaters, so this evening I thought I'd dig out a set of wheels that I've been planning to have refurbished.
Except, when I looked closely, they aren't actually set - all 4 look like standard Xantia Exclusive wheels, but there are two different rim widths, 2 are 5.5J and 2 are 6J. (I'd post a picture of them, but it seems that "... the board attachment quota has been reached")
I have 2 Xantia Exclusives, both Mk 2 estates, both HDi (110hp). They're both wearing 5.5J rims with 205/60 tyres.
I know the 90 hp HDis have narrower tyres, 195 I think. I can only assume the 2 larger wheels came originally from a V6; does that sound likely ?
Anyone want the larger pair ?
Or better still, want top swap them for a pair of 5.5J versions ?
At least I spotted the difference before I spent £100 having them repainted!

Re: Xantia Exclusive wheels
The 90HP HDis use 185, 65, R15. I just had 4 put on Gracie.

Re: Xantia Exclusive wheels
My HDI Exclusive estate is on 6J rims with 205/60 x 15 tyres, I thought that was standard fitment. I'm surprised yours are both on 5.5J rims.
