Now that I have fitted power steering to my 408 (huge improvement), I am once again turning my thoughts to wider wheel rims and tyres.

Yes, MB and Audi and VW use 5x112 pcd wheels that would fit except the front hubs of the 408 Mk1 are too big for the centre hole!!!!!!!! I can only assume the 409 and later hubs are smaller!!!!! IIRC, my hubs require wheels with a center bore of 72.3mm. I would really prefer 15 or 16 inch steel wheels but does anybody know of anything that will fit?

Thanks
David
