15s / Tyres / Fitment

[CJGREEN]

Looking at swapping the 182FF wheels off and swapping to the below:
5x6
PCD: 4 x 100 mm
OFFSET ET: 45
Center Bore 57,1mm
6J wide

According to the will they fit calculator (http://bit.ly/1QGGV2S) they will tuck 20mm more than standard, meaning I'd need 20mm spacers to make them sit the same??

Also what tyres are best to fit to this size rim?

Cheers

James

You don't *need* the spacers, but why do you want narrow wheels with more tuck? What are they?

195/50R15 is a usual size for 15".

Firstly, you'll need to get the centrebore changed to 60.1. That's no big deal though.

Secondly, 7J wheels on an ET of about that would fit better

 

[CJGREEN]

It was just the wheels id spotted tbh. Thought they looked good and not seen any on a clio before but that may be down to the widths and fitments as you say.

What's 5x6 ?

What wheels are they ?

 

[CJGREEN]

Should of said 15x6

 

[alistairolsen]

They 195/50 15 tyre diameter matches well with the 195/40 16. Wheel otherwise should stay the same.
I went with 15*7 ET 38 (cup offset) with the correct centrebore.

 

[CJGREEN]

Ok cheers. Thats all I needed to hear really. As for the poke/tuck I will play with spacers I think to sort that side of it out.

 

[Budgie]

As an idea, i think these are the same without centre caps?

 

[CJGREEN]

Similar mate. I looked at those too but prefer the others.

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

Get @Knuckles to 'shop you a trial fit.

They'll look absolutely dreadful IMO.

Get @Knuckles to 'shop you a trial fit.

Did a very quick one yesterday...

Lowered slightly.

 

[Knuckles]

they dont look too bad in that shop tbh!

isnt the clio centre bore 60.1?

 

[CJGREEN]

That's what I thought when I did the shop. Something different to 2118 or Turini.

Yea think so according to what @Budgie has said above.

 

[LeeRS]

Yep 60.1

Was going to get some 15s but i don't understand what ET I need or anything so gave in.

 

[CJGREEN]

Use the calculation I posted. As long as you know the specs for both sets of wheels itll tell you how they'll sit.

Pretty sure there was a chap on here that had those wheels on he's BG and they looked too skinny in the flesh. I just didn't look right. I'll see if I can find some pics of the car. The wheels was gold iirc. I was parked in front of him at CSS 14 and was speaking to him about it.

 

[Jekyll]

Said car:

[CJGREEN]

Those look similar. The one in the boot photo is right but the ones on the car look different.

 

[Jekyll]

Ah OK mate. Have look on page 2 as I'm sure he said they was 6J when I was speaking to him and you can see on the pics that they are too skinny. IMO of course.

 

[CJGREEN]

So they are, page one has the photos. Would look better with spacers.

 

[CJGREEN]

Anyone got photos of how the:
195/45
195/50
205/50

tyres sit on 15s?
