Hey guys,

Sorry I havnt been around in a while, been up to my neck in uni work and normal work. I like the fact that the forum has grown a lot since my last visit, lots of fun new threads for me to catch up on

I still have my 206 but its got new mirrors, lights & tints. Im looking to get wheels and a back box soon which is the main reason for this thread.

Ive been told that most cars support +2 inches from the standard wheel size, my wheels are 15" so am I right to assume that I can put 17's on with no hassle? If they dont fit, what will I have to do? Modify the arch? or buy smaller tyres?

And secondly, Im looking to get a new back box, not fussed on the shape, maybe oval or circle? and not too big, dont want it to look chavy! But I want it to sound nice, I have a diesel and standard it sounds like **** tbh. Id like to buy one for less than £100 but I could stretch to £150 if need be. And does anyone know how much it would likely cost to get fitted, based on what needs to be done (which I assume is welding?).

Thanks guys
