14" or 15" Steel wheels on a '05 182.

[jaycc]

Hi Guys,

Will 14"/15" steelies fit a 182? (from a 1.2 clio or something?)

Looking at getting some for the snow as Eagle F1's @ 205width are a joke in the snow.

I know 14s won't.

 

[ForceIndia]

15's should.

 

[jaycc]

Nice one guys, i guess 14" wont fit of the calipers. Will 15" steelies from most clios fit then? will i need different wheel bolts? (size?)

 

[vincent]

15" steelies from any clio will fit, they wont rubb and no need for different bolts either, just slap them on


What you think 14" would give if 15" on a 172 gives this qua caliper clearance

 

[jaycc]

wooha looks very tight that!

toight




toight loike a toiger =D



Anyways, like you i had F1's in 205trim on, but changed them to 15" falken snow tires just before the first snow, and all i can say is WOOOW, on snow and ice they realy make a huge difference

Going off this site (http://www.alloywheels.com/tyrecalc.asp)

MY current tyres are 205/45/16

Im thinking 165/65/15 which give a difference of 0.78%)

Good evening all, this is my first post on Cliosport.

Jaycc, did you buy winter tyres and a set of steelies in the end, just I've also been considering doing that, given how badly my car coped with the recent snow on 205 Exaltos.

Also, having been on the website http://www.alloywheels.com/tyrecalc.asp it says that 175 60 R15 gives a difference of only 0.02% when compared to 205 45 R16. Maybe they would be the ideal compromise for the wintery conditions?

14 wont fit to front but fit to rear

15" steels fit all round, I have them on and have no issues

Is it really worth it for the amount of snow we actually get? Be cheaper to lay the car up and use a taxi

 

[David Ramsey]

Tyres will be a lot cheaper so you can use them accross the winter rather than just in the snow
