Probably not what you want to here! BUT... Your Turinis are ET35....and....when I spoke to Speedline UK before I got mine they did say that they had experience rubbing on Clio Cups with 17s with ET35 offset.....He did say it was mainly on the front when the wheels were on full lock. Thats...

Yeah I agree after having so may troubles with my exhaust I would look elsewhere!!!

I think all 172s have a lumpy idle! I know mine does and its been in on several occasions for them to look at it! Just take it as standard equipment!

you have 205/40R17 tyres though...I forgot about that! Change your tyres...problem solved!!

Its all in your head mate! I did the same a few weeks back and the ride was just as hard though it was a bit more spritely through the gears!

I would have to say though that the place where the wheels were bought from have a responsibility to sell the correct size and offset wheels! The place where I bought mine from changed my tyres for me aftet I had used them to a better size without hesitation!

Had a bit of a scare this morning!! Wheel nearly came off driving down the motorway. :o Had noticed a bit of a cluncking from the back of the car so I decided to check the wheel nuts at the back they were OK. Though better get it booked in!! Anyway off to work this morning it started to get...

They would have to be Michelin Pilot Exaltos! They dont do the Pilot Sport in 16" Unless Renault have made a deal with Michelin!

Fook me you drive like a girl! Mine were dead after 10K miles

Well I can honestly say Ive never experience any torque steer whatsoever! I think a lot of people confuse torque steer with tramlining!

The patch on the widscreen is the rainsensor that only comes on proper 172s

I will ;) After being underpowered for so long my car actually scared me last night when I floored it in 2nd!! Im so happy!!

Finally after over year of problems with Renault they have replaced the last section of my exhaust (the one that appears to have been at fault) and my car goes like stink! I must have been down on power for over a year. Never noticed it really as it must have disapeared gradually. But I feel...

One thing to bear in mind is that once out of warranty Renault are nortoriously expensive for parts! They mechanically are good with only plastic and mainly unimportant (but annoying) bits going wrong. Main differences being MK2 comes with xenons and Climate Control (as opposed to just air...

Well I shouldnt read this thread, its for special people! :D

Why dont you just find a long stretch of road! Then post the results here

Not necessarily bigger wheels, just wider tyres! Wider tyre = more tyre in contact with the road. Not necessarily small cars it can happen to any car but its mainly front wheel drive. I suppose it can happen more to small cars due to their light wieght

Thats what Ill be getting......!

Mine does it in 5.6 according to the vid I made last week! :o ;)

I dont think the ride is any different on mine. At first I thought it was a lot harder but after recently putting the 16s back I couldnt notice any difference, it was just as firm.

Have you also noticed that you do more MPH per 1000revs try doing 70 and see what RPM your doing it less RPM than with the 16s about 200 less :confused: But in all honesty I would change to 195/40R17 as they are a much closer match and the effect is almost non existent.

Where abouts are you located?? Perhaps get another Cup owner to have a look at your car. That would be the best way to identify if enything is wrong. Im from Newcastle if your near.

Or write it in more reliable language! ;)

NEW Ibiza Cupra R is coming out in January Im gonna wait till then :D

Theyre not lighter than the standard 172 rims but that are only about 100grams difference - according to my bathroom scales anyway!

Doubt it....an exhaust has a hole at the end anyway, so another one aint gonna matter is it? ;)

Funny story really cos thats what happend to mine! I took it in for them to have a look at the rattle/vibration. They tell me I need a new exhaust, about a week later I have a feck off big hole in my exhaust!!!!! And about 3 months after having that replaced I now have a big feck off crack all...

"tram line" is where the front wheels (steering) want to follow the camber/holes (etc) in the road there for the car doesnt exactly go where you want it to. Happens mainly with wider tyres!!
