16" on 1.2

[Curley]

Will the 16" 172 wheels fit straight on to my 2005 1.2?

Any rubbing or such?

you got a drop?

Need 5mm spacers on the rear iirc. And after seeing the before/after of them on Has's car they look loads better with 15mm all round.

^^^correct from my own experience^^^ though i used 6mm's - its only plastic trim that rubs, so you <could> just 'alter' the trim slighty. saying that does look much improved spaced out.

i'd go for more on the fronts than on the backs. i had to go for 8mm on the backs to stop them rubbing, and on a very fast island, they'd still rub a bit. and wnet for 15mm i think on the front.

15mm all round sounds niceee.

Any reccomandations to what are good spacers?

Has used FK hubcentrics iirc. You'll need longer wheel bolts too remember!
