is wheelsize.com accurate about the C5 mk1?

Unread post by Richard_Hannay »

On wheelsize.com, and a few other sites, they list the 2.2hdi version of the C5 mk1 as having 215/65 r16s as an option from the factory. Has anyone ever owned a mk1 c5 with tires that big? Or is the site just wrong? the link is here https://www.wheel-size.com/size/citroen/c5/2003/,

UK specs were mainly fitted (2.2 HDi C5 I's) with 205 65 15 H (Silverstone, Imola)

Some had: 215 55 16 W (Monza, Hungaro)

These were the only ones listed for UK.

Winter tyres... often larger side-walls

215/65/16 was the default tyre size on a freelander 1... But it's only 2.8% bigger than the 235/50/17 option.
