14" OZ F1's fit a 172?

[5mudge]

I impulsed bought a set of 14" OZ F1 alloys without reading the listing properly and only just realised they're 14" instead of 15". Now will they fit my Ph1 172? Only gonna be used as track wheels.

 

[George182]

I very much doubt they will clear the brakes unfortunately

 

[Bluebeard]

Won't go over the brakes. And will look f**king s**t! Lol

 

[Diagro]

No they won't fit.
but if you have them... why not try?

 

[Dan@SJM]

Why waste the time? They won't fit over the front brakes

 

[Bluebeard]

No they won't fit.
but if you have them... why not try?

Are you a full on spastic or a mega troll?? I can't work it out and it's bugging me.

 

[Diagro]

Piss off potato face.

Piss off potato face.

So explain your "it won't fit but try it" comment.

 

[Diagro]

I know they won't.
But as I know I would try anyway for fun. I'm sure he could try if he had them ready.

not like it's a waste of time as it's a 5 min task.

I don't see how you can find my comment trolling tbh unless you are seriously anal

 

[Ex-User (19928)]

lolwat? Of course it's a waste of time. Whether it's 5 seconds or 5 days, it's a waste of time trying.

@OP I'd suggest contacting the seller and explaining, assuming you've not paid and had them shipped yet.

 

[Diagro]

Your idea of time wasted and mine are vastly different

 

[Ex-User (19928)]

Judging by your previous posts I don't doubt that.

 

[ben_r1]

Least you got two very light wheels for the rear

 

[Martin_172]

get 9" spacers so they clear the brakes completely?

 

[Chip-mk1]

No they won't fit.
but if you have them... why not try?

Because he probably hasnt collected them yet, and is now thinking he would be better off just sending the guy a message saying "feel free to keep the cash and to sell them again, I bought in error as they wont fit my car" than driving around the country collecting them or wasting money on postage etc?

 

[Chip-mk1]

get 9" spacers so they clear the brakes completely?

All joking aside 30mm spacer would do it I suspect, depending on the offset, as its only the outer few dozen mm that is stepped in so much.
But I still wouldnt do it!

Fpmsl knowsit! Full on r****d.

 

[M.C..]

Just wondering how many of you have personally tried to fit 14" wheels?
I agree that they probably will not fit, but until they have been tried you don't know ( I apologise if you have tried them)

I was looking at a set of track wheels for my Megane 250 a while ago (all different wheels with same PCD), everyone was under the impression that a 17inch wheel will not clear the Brembos, I had a old Civic wheel and tried it and guess what it did fit but was very close to the caliper, but just goes to prove people give comments and they are not sure themselves.

If you have them try them but if not try and get your money back.

 

[Bluebeard]

I've tried. They don't fit.

I'm not sure how I can be any clearer on this matter.

 

[LiamR172]

Did you try a second time to make sure though?

 

[5mudge]

Wow... Calm down guys. I got them for £75 posted so hopefully will get my money back by selling on to
someone. I'm not gonna cancel the transaction as it's not fair on the seller me being a d!ck and not reading the listing properly.

 

[M.C..]

Fair enough, as you have personally tried it.

 

[Chip-mk1]

Both sides?
might be only the drivers one that doesn't clear the front brakes?

£75?!

Christ you'll probably double your money if you advertise them properly.

 

[Chip-mk1]

More importantly even if it did fit. 15s will still be better for track.

 

[5mudge]

I've got some spare Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.2 15" alloys that I'll use for the track now. Would have been nice getting some OZ F1's on there and sell my Clio 16V Turbines as I fancy a change.

 

[Chip-mk1]

I can swap you a set of oz f1 for your pro race if they are 15.
or for your turbines.

Might be interested in a deal on my Pro Race's. Yes they're 15". Turbines are worth more than F1's plus I've just fitted 4 paradas on them.
What condition are the F1's in?

 

[JAMason]

At least try the 14" F1's first... They might fit.

Lol!

lmfao

 

[Chip-mk1]

Good condition mate. I need to fetch them back off Kelv as someone near him agreed to buy them off me so I left them with kelv but has messed about for a month or so.

 

[Kelv]

Whenever you need them chip, no problem atall.
or, I could drop them off with Mike a bit later in the day if that makes life easier for you?

 

[Chip-mk1]

If you see mike that would be great or if not I will come and fetch them. Sorry you got lumbered as a result of a third party messing me around.

 

[Kelv]

It doesn't worry me chip, not in the slightest.

The F1's are in fair condition, pictures of them here (now have no Tyres or centre caps though)

For track use they are ideal, if you have a show car they would need a refurb to be good enough.


They are currently at Mike at MWM (staines) but I could meet you halfway between there and you one night next week if you wanted them.

 

[Dan@SJM]

You could bring them here chip, and he could collect from me if he wanted.

I could, if I wasnt already doing that with a set on friday anyway mate! Not got space for another set as well, lol.

 

[Dan@SJM]

Poor excuse. Did you not learn ANYTHING from India???
