Standard Caravelle suspension, no spacers ! Just bolted straight on. .Standard suspension on this?
Wheels 8x17 ET35 with no spacers?
I only ask because they fill the arches perfectly…and I’m just about to buy the wheels and tyres.
Morning, mine are Gold and not Bronze ! 50th Aniversery colour. They get quite a bit of positive attention, although the wife is not keen. .Thanks!
My next question is colour…
They look much darker bronze on photos I’ve seen.
Are your photos more of a true colour likeness than eg demon tweeks photo attached?

They look better, they fill the arch better, the speedo runs true, good ATs are hard to find in the original size.
I have this on the shelf in black And bronze if anyone is looking for a set. 10% discount for the forum.
Because the speedo under reads by 2mph on the origonal, the 235/65/17 is 7% larger and adds 2mph So it now matches the true gps speed.That’s the bit I’m interested in. How does the Speedo run true when the wheel/tyre combo is bigger than OEM?
don't notice it on the 204. plus I have the TVS DSG map, but at 70 I'm under 2000 rpm so that helps a bit.Do you notice any difference in the gearing?
What tyre brand are you running?
Joined the club Delighted with the fit of these. These are on a Caravelle 4mo with standard suspension.
Thanks all that have shared info and made choosing these fairly straightforward (hardest choice was colour - played it safe in the end).
For reference, I went for Pirelli Scorpion AT+ in 235/65R17 108H on these which are of course 17" x 8" ET35. As previously advised by others, my speedo is now a total match for gps through the range. Fitment appears tight in places but no rubbing whatsoever. Significantly more comfy than the 18's I had on too.
Centre bore on these is direct fit, however certainly my alloys are tapered seat so couldn't use the factory bolts.
