    Sorry for the dumb question, but which of the various 308 models had metric size wheels?
    Did any US cars have them?

    I believe most, or all of, the US 308s from '80 to '82 had the 390 metric wheels....

    All U.S.A AND World Market (Euro) 308 gtb/s i 2 valve cars had metric wheels and TRX Michelin tyres (1980-1982) as did 308 qv's in the US until 1984 model year when they went to 16" wheels.

    Hope this helps

    Cheers

    Thanks Clyde

    I forgot to mention that 16" wheels were optional on US 308 qv'S from the models launch in 1983 until the fall of 1984 when they pretty well came standard on all US cars!

    Cheers

    Wish they came standard on euro models. Mine is an 85 euro and came with 390s.
