Wrong offset

[Cornes182Cup]

I have rubbing issues on my tyres and was told to check the offfset of my alloys, the offset is ET 42 and I was just wondering does that mean I need spacers and if so what size?

Thanks

The standard offset on a Clio is around ET 37 I believe. Having a higher offset will mean your wheels will sit further in the arch. A lower offset will stick out more.

182 cup alloy offset is ET45 standard.
Non cup wheels ET37.5 standard iirc.
What wheels you running? Your car lowered?

There's your problem. Doubt a different offset or spacers would help tbh.
Most people fit 16". 17" look too big on Clio's imo.

Can you tell exactly where its rubbing? Eg inside/outside

Oh right, the previous owner bought the 17s. New set of alloys then by looks of it.

Yeah the outside of the tire, so like when I sharp turn left the right side rubs, when I sharp turn right the left side rubs.... if you can understand my rubbish explanations!

Get some 15s or 16s at most.
