I've been offered a set of 17" OZ superleggera wheels, they are currently in use under a Peugeot 306. The standard offset is ET45 but the owner sells the wheels with spacers to ET16.

Will this fit with the standard wheelstuds and wheelnuts?

If they're used on a 306 they're probably only 7" wide, and thats a 2.9cm spacer Wouldnt bother to be honest.

The rims are 7,5" wide. What would the maximum spacer distance be to fit an Escos?

if you are serious about getting these wheels to fit onto your Escos then its going to be more than just fitting a 29mm spacer, because the wheels are not the usual 8" width it may give the appearance that they are sitting to far in aswell.

add to that, your going to need to take the hubs apart and fit longer wheels studs aswell, or the nuts are going to have hardly anything to wind onto


personally id leave those wheels alone!
