16 sport alloys on a mk2 facelift

[focus_88]

Just got some standard clio 16 sport alloys with low profiles. Ive put them on and there is roughly the same amount of clearance on the arch e.g plenty. Its just there 195 wide as oppose to 175 so will it rub on the inner arch also if it does will spacers solve this? cheers

Will probably want 5mm spacers on the back. And they look far better with 15mm all round. The trouble is they're ET48.5 whereas standard dynamique wheels are ET37.

ah ok bmh, will i need any on the front though?

You won't need any but they look lots better with 15mm all round.

cheers for the advice bmh the 5mm on the back worked a treat no rubbing. Ill consider going 15mm all round, Ill probably have to invest in some longer wheel bolts though.

Yeah with 15mm spacers you will need longer bolts without a doubt. All adds up.
