Being as theres a recuring theme (the same on all car forums :? ) of what wheel fits, I'm hopefully going to compile a list of what works and sticky it here.
A usefull link for working out if wheels/tyres will fit is:-

Firstly, the Twingo hubs are
Pitch Circle Dimeter - 4x100
Center bore - 60mm
RS models
17's
7x17 ET55 is the standard Cup wheel as fitted with 195/40/17
7x17 ET55 with 205/40/17 is a common replacement tyre and was rumoured to be standard fit to the facelift RS133 for a while
Below ET43, the 205/40/17 will probably rub the front arch on full lock and the rears will rub when loaded
7x17 ET35 have the face of the wheel flush with the outer edge of the wheel arch. 195/40/17 fits but the rear arches can rub when loaded
16's
7x16 ET55 is the standard Non Cup wheel with 195/45/16 Conti CS3
7x16 ET55 with 195/45/16 Michelin Alpin A4 winters
7x16, ET44 with 195/45R16, Michelin A4, no rubbing at all
7x16 ET37 with 195/45/16, Toyo Snowprox winters, no rubbing
7x16 ET35 with 195/45/16 Michelin alpin A4 winters - fronts rub on full lock (Note 1)
15's-15" rims clear the front brake calipper by a few mm so check them before spending a fortune
7x15 ET43 Speedline 2118 alloys with 195/50/15. Work fine at standard ride height
7x15 ET43 with 195/55/15 BFG winter G - just clear the front arch when on full lock
7x15 ET43 with 195/50/15 Yokohama AD08 - Occasional rubbing of rear tyre shoulder when lowered on Apex springs. Regular rubbing now lowered on BC coilovers
7x15 ET40 with 195/50/15 Yokohama AD08 - Required rear arches knocking outwards of the top. Still rubs occasionally when loaded or often when lowered.
6.5x15 ET43 steel rim is the spare wheel size with 185/55/15 Continental Sport Contact 2
6.5x15 ET40 OZ Superturismo wheels with 195/50-15 tyres.. ..perfect fit, no rubbing
7x15 ET35 with 195/55/15 Toyo r888 semislick- as used on Anthonys (yotah1) Nurburgring car (Note 1)
5.5x15 ET35 Ronal R52 with 165/65 Alpine A4 winters
7x15 et20 with 165/50/15 - Stretched tyres on Ollies ride
Note 1:-
Non RS models
5.5x14 ET29 - Standard non GT 1.2
6x15 ET36- Standard GT alloy
7x16 ET45 - Clio182 eight spoke alloy with 205/45/16 tyre >>clicky<<(20mm spacers optional to fill the arch)
7x17 ET55 cup alloy with 25mm spacers (making a total of ET30) with 195/40/17 >>clicky<<

Note 1:-
singlespeed":hujmzgc4 said:chatting with Yotah earlier. On paper, his 15" toyo R888 should have been the ones that rub as they should be larger than the 16" alpin A4. The difference being the r888 is a semislick from toyo and the A4 is a winter tyre from Michelin.
At ET35, clearance is getting small and it depends on the actual tyre shape more than the numbers :-s
