Hi well if its an older model on 14" rims you might find them a slightly loose fit on the rims!
But anything else they fit ok normally an estate tyre on Mk1 zantys later went with some other widths etc but on mine i went with 195/65/15 which bring speedo correct and easier to buy than 185's the pug 406 estates use 195 can't see why citroen had to go with that size?

Very early Xantia was fitted with 14" wheels, but changed some time in 1995 to 15" wheels IIRC. MY '95 TD is on 15" with RP = 6794

Well the easy way to check is to go and read the numbers on the side of the tyres on the car at the moment..

I thought all the steel rims were 14" and alloys all 15" on the Xantia ? (Other than the special 15" steel spare on cars with alloys)

The seller says he or she comming up to Lincoln this weekend. But i emailed the seller if they want cash in hand twice no luck. Think they was bit disappointed about how much they went for. See what happens

No. All my TDs and petrol Xantias had 15" wheels, RUNN certainly did too.

Estates are 15" steels or alloys mine are the Pug speedlines from the 309/205GTI's and in white which is rare think they was for Grp N rally cars the pug ran as got from near there place near dunstable.
It don't make any difference to seller re cash in hand as they still have to pay listing and final valuation fees plus percent of postage now only thing they don't have to pay that way is paypal fees.
But that size tyre is a closed market as not many use it so more expensive to buy new also and less tyre choice

Nonsense. The Berlingo uses them. There's loads available, from £40 cheapies, up through uniroyals, avons, Bridgestone, Dunlop and Michelin. Loads of winters in that size too.

Early Xantias had 14" steels, these had the trims which pop onto the wheel studs. Slightly later (late 95) they got 15" steel wheels which have the pretty ordinary looking 5 spoke wheel trims.

As the 14" trims do fit ove the nuts they do also fit on the 15" wheels ... which can cause confusion.
