14s fit a 16v

[Mikey16vClio]

Need my alloys re-furbed but dont want it off-road while im waiting so thinking about putting my mates RS Turbo 14 inch wheels on.

Question is will they fit? Cheers, Mikey.

 

[Daz]

No, Ford fitament is different.

 

[Mikey16vClio]

Ehh! How; they r 4 stud & can buy the same alloys for Fords & Renos cant u?

 

[Mike Wright]

If it did the offset would prob be wrong and the speedo would certainly be out.

 

[Daz]

They are a different fitament.

Looking at that, Escorts are 4 x 108.. whereas the Clio is 4 x 100..

The offset would be ok, but they wont fit on.. heh.

Daz.

PCD is wrong as Daz says.

They wont go anywhere near.

Oh, and dont fit steelies if you drive hard as youll knacker wheel bearings with the heat the steel doesnt dissipate...

 

[BenR]

yup, if you drive mega hard on the track, you can actually get the centres to glow with heat soak from the brakes and itll bend over midcorner.....not nice.

 

[Paul16V]

hehe that would be a cool sight!

If u r just running around you will be fine though. If u r not hammering the brakes.

 

[Daz]

It might be a cool sight, but I bet ya sh*t a brick if ya driving it.

 

[Colin_S]

It might be fine for running about but 100% they will not fit the stud patterns are different.

The old clio cup cars (valvers) had steel replica williams wheels originally, but they soon changed them!!!!!!

 

[Daz]

haha, yea.. not even cup racers can go round on L shaped wheels.

You mean the std steel spare wheels......lol

 

[Nick Read]

Yeah they were the standard spare wheels. Ive got a couple and they look wicked!

 

[Fred@BTM]

erm, i guess so, "i dont do" old clapped out Renaults im afraid!!!!!

 

[BenR]

just slow new claped out ones eh!

 

[Fred@BTM]

true!!!! (you missed low)

 

[BenR]

thats the clapped out bit ......but its 80mm soon!!!!!!!! not now! lol

 

[Fred@BTM]

That should read 80mm (minimum) soon!!!!!

 

[BenR]

then after that......."the wheels dont touch the ground" anymore!!!!!!

 

[Fred@BTM]

yeah, well thats what im aiming for LOL!!!! Total impracticality (feck, big word that!!)

 

[cliocup]

What on earth will you achieve by running it that low? Youll just be scrapping the exhaust, sump and crossmember on the ground and knackering drive shafts, bushes and steering components etc etc...

Each to their own i suppose...! Me, id drop the ride height nearer 8mm and save a shed load of cash and hassle when you come across a speed bump/white line!

 

[Fred@BTM]

Lowest clio in the UK hopefully!!! I know itll fall apart, but i love messing about with my car

 

[timrud]

Ive had mine stupid low for over 2 1/2yrs, nothings broken YET (touch wood! LOL). Some people might like fashion over functionality, different strokes for different folks!
