I have the OE Dunlop Sport Maxx RT tyres on my 200T and to be fair on a recent trackday in France was pleasantly surprised how well they performed in the damp to wet conditions. I think the chassis helped too but the tyres felt grippy when putting the power going through the long corners and...
I did yes, they spoke to the technicians and others and said that if it's not ticked on the options from new then it doesn't have the loom and software. The costs involved to then retrofit becomes too much.
Maybe he spent the first night sleeping in it, must be amazing to have that new car feeling. The buzz of ordering, waiting, then finally picking it up.
Had a long weekend in France between last Friday and Monday, in between that was an organised trackday with a club called Picardie Renault Sport in the Saturday.
Just a few photos of some of the cars at the show
It's an option but one near the bottom of the list. It would have to be minimal, like adding 0.5 or something. I don't know what that equates to in terms of wheel tuck but yeah ideally I'd like to keep it as std in looks as possible.
There's more to play with, not much though. The 8J ET48 JUST about works, literally. It's the rear I'm having mares with, I'll take a photo of the front.

I took a photo of the rear wheel and arch, bar getting a tape measure I think it shows how close it already is with the ET55 and 7.5J.
An 8J instantly pushes it out 12.5mm
It sits outside of the wheelarch and will rub. I don't want a car that looks like it's had the wheels 'spacered' big time. Either flush or literally just inside.
The white actually doesn't look too bad, again it's a struggle with the high ET and 7.5J width. The OE wheel on the rear already sits close to the edge of the arch.
I even looked at these as a possibility, 7.5Jx18 ET53, even the same centrebore, BUT 5x112 which would mean using wobble bolts
The HLTs are a 7.5Jx18 ET47 offset, I'm not copying someone else as much as I like them. Believe me for the last 2 months I've been scouring the internet for new and 2nd hand wheels in an offset that will work.
So I tried an 8J ET48 as recommended by OZ but this is what happened
They stick...
Really struggling with finding a set of wheels due to the high ET the EDC has. While I was in Renault yesterday they have the facelift 220 and saw the wheels.
I asked parts department for a price, in my opinion it would give mine the look of the facelift model. Then I saw that the French...
