see off topic!

Fred, Mk1 and Mk2 172s have different offsets, 43 and 48, but youre right in saying that an offset of 37 will fit both.

You should be getting the letter in the post any day, but here are the details anyway: FOLKESTONE-CALAIS 18 APR 03 10:59 CALAIS-FOLKESTONE 21 APR 03 18:33

Kathy and Wayne have persuaded me to go for the 27th, so Ill book that date, go for it Tony!

cheers Fred, we posted at the same time! I think Ill order them. Hopefully have pics at the weekend if I do.

Oh cool, I thought the cup offsets were 48, but I think thats the Mk2 172.

Flippin offsets! Ive seen a set of 16" wheels I want on my Mk1 172 (which the offset is 43). The shop have come back to me and said that the wheel manufacturer can only do an offset of 38. Now will this screw up my handling? Has anyone tried wheels that stick out futher than the originals...

31, but gonna be 32 in 2 weeks time :sick: (take note those going to Belgium - free drink for me please! :D)

Ill get on it!

those mk2 wheels must be 12mm out on each side?

ok, so Im going to try Johns 5mm spacers and see how it goes. If handling screws up, Ill put the original wheels back on. Will report back after I give it a good thrashing!.....

I think most coilovers are adjustable? The GAZ ones def. are.

Im getting some GAZ ones fitted to my 16v in the next fortnight. If you can wait till then Ill give my opinion on them.

Keep telling yourself that kis, keep telling yourself that! Well see whos quicker on track eh! :devilish:

Slugger: my 172 is 2 and a half years old now! Getting on a bit! The 16v is going in for a handbrake cable and the coilovers next week. Should be all finished by then (well roadworthy at least!) Mat: Not sure I can wait till then! It seems nearly everyone is going on the first date?

172 mk1 is 43, 16v is 36, difference of 7mm

Rob, I just didnt bother counting your vote! :D

yep, mk1 means first clio shape. I will also be double checking the mats between mk1 and mk2 172s to check they are the same, if not, I will submit templates for the mk1 172.

all 3 eh, well in my dreams maybe, also my old car isnt up to it!!!

where can you buy spacers from? Do people still sell these?

smoked 6 all!!!

If its the same as my 172 Mk1 you just unscrew it, real easy job, you dont need to remove the bumper.

not sure on that, best take a look at the faqs on their website.

ooh, have you got to register, didnt see that?

Cheeky woman! Im getting some though, def. I agree with _KDF, logo about 75% of the above size. Although still looks great full-size.

Cheers Lars, I checked my spare last night, and as you say, the offset on a Mk1 172 is 43. As the 16v has an offset of 36, assuming the phase 1 16v wheels are 7" wide as well, the wheel will sit in the arch 7mm closer to the body. Is it worth trying a 5mm spacer? Or just not bothering with...

I had trouble fitting mine. I got there in the end but it took a whole day.

Hang on Mat, if everyone is going to the earliest one should we join the crowd on that day?
