Partner and Berlingo are the same vehicle.
15" were standard fitment to some models
205's will be fine

If your old wheels were 14" they had higher profile tyres so the rolling radius of your 15" wheels and tyres will be near enough the same.
So where does this bit go then ?

Your both wrong guys, they don't fit. The maximum width is 195, wall height is 50 , so 195/50 /15 is the maximum size that will fit. You learn something new everyday.

Yeah it's a 6j wheel even 195 will look stupid. Find some 4x108 15x7j wheels and then you can roll with 205's

You won't get 205's under the w/arches no matter what. I have ended up fitting standard 14" wheels on , your knowledge on this occasion is limited. Thanks

Thanks for the test fitting reports. I'd wondered if 205 would go, 185 seemed tight on the rear.
I've not seen 195 width tyres with commercial load ratings (87-up) at "everyday" prices but there were several choices of 205.
