GTA alloys on a 156?

First of all, hello!
I'm new to the forums, so please be gentle....

I've been offered some 17" GTA alloys for my 1.8TS 156 which currently has 15" pepperpots, but I'm not sure if they will fit?
I think the studs are the same, but will the alloys fit without rubbing etc, as they are wider?

I currently have 195/55 tyres on, but the GTA 17's (I think)are 225/45?

Thanks in advance.

I don't think they'll fit on your 156 ... they'll fit on my one though if you care to pass them over , I believe that as long as you haven't had your car significantly lowered they should fit fine ...

They will fit fine.

The radius of the wheel will be pretty much the same.

They will fit fine - I have a set on my 156.

The tyre might touch the rear arch when fully loaded, also 195/55x15 is not the correct tyre size for 156

Re: GTA alloys on a 156?

Yep, as others have said they'll defo fit. I've had no issues on mine and thats slammed on coilovers, about a 60mm drop. 225/45 just clears the rear suspension, there's about 5mm between the tyre and suspension. Height doesn't affect this, its to do with the tyres width. 10mm spacers would make it look awesome, wouldn't mind doing this myself
