14inch or 15inch?

I think you will find they changed to 15 inch wheels because Pignut altered the size when the 406 came out and as it is there powerplant the Xantia had to change to maintain the gearing. Anyone got the gear/final drive ratios to hand for different years cars?

The Xantia wheel size changed in the UK from 14" to 15" on late N or early P registration cars with tyres going from 185x65x14 up to 195x60x15 as I was looking at a few of them a few years back.

Having said that my current Xantia has 185x65x15 tyres, as listed on drivers doorpillar, so when they changed again I couldnt say.
