Hi
Just been into this myself last month.
I found that all peugeot 4 stud, all ford 4 stud will fit but you will have to enlarge the centre part on some ford alloys so that it will fit over the xantias hub, I got myself some nice citroen saxo alloys, also you must try and get the proper bolts.
Regards
DD
Forgot to mention you can go up to 17" alloys.

dirtydog has this sort of right...
Most Pugs have the same fitting as Xantia, being
4x108, with an offset of 15...22 and a centre bore of 65mm.
However, whilst many common Fords have a 4x108 bolt pattern,
the offset is very different - anywhere from 35-42,
and the centre bore is somewhat smaller at 63.3mm.
Not a straightforward match at all.
"Try to get the proper bolts..." - the Cits steel wheel bolts have a 60 degree fitting face and are not suitable for alloys which require a flat face seat. In addition, the standard 25mm length thread will be insufficient for the alloys which typically (eg for Cit OE alloys)need a longer bolt of 35mm - this dimension is shared with Pugs.
Those thinking of fitting alloys to Cits will find this link helpful and informative.

and look for the sb29 Pug bolt
