16" renault turini's on a mk3?

[ksykes23]

Was just wondering peoples thoughts on what 16" Renault trophy speedlines (anthracite) would look on a non-sport mk3? Havent seen this setup anywhere so wasnt sure if they would be too small or not? I would personally prefer to pop 16s on, but would like your guys opinions first also if u know of any pics or a photoshop, stick it up

MK3 are 5 stud, MK2 are 4 stud.

Lol is it bad that i forgot that i created that thread..... Even though it was only like 20 days ago :/

The non sports are 4x100

MK3 are 5 stud, MK2 are 4 stud.

Non sport - 4 stud
sport - 5 stud

they would fit fine mate.

Go 17'' mate, the arches on these are too big for 16''... Unless you go über low

 

[ksykes23]

Was looking to maybe go like 60mm. Bit worried on the price of the 17 turinis lol

 

[Knuckles]

Meh, if you're gonna spend so much on wheels you may as well spend the little extra and get 17''

they always seem to be on eBay when I had a mk2, they were all 17'' lol and now I have a mk3 they're all 4 stud lol. Typical

 

[ksykes23]

Hahah thats some bad luck mate. Yeah i see what you mean mate. Will have a scour on ebay. Do you reckon my drop will be limited with 17's? Im crap with wheels, cant make a decision lol just one of them things that i want to get perfect :/

 

[Bobby.]

17" tyres are normally cheaper than 16" so might work out cheaper anyway.

 

[ksykes23]

Really? How that make sense lol not complainin if it does

shoudnt effect the drop id think

 

[ksykes23]

They would be perfect if they were 4x100....also, bit of a noob question but if the offset on them wheels is et16 and the standard non sport clio is 35-40....that would mean that they would sit a lot closer to the arches?

 

[Bobby.]

Really? How that make sense lol not complainin if it does

17" are more popular size so bulk manufacture= less cost to make= cheaper price.

 

[Knuckles]

i could be wrong but i think the lower the et the wider they are?

 

[Bobby.]

No, the lower the offset the further out they sit

 

[Knuckles]

tomato tomato, thats what i was trying to say lol

 

[ksykes23]

So et16 wheels would sit closer to the outside of my car than wheels between 30-40

 

[Bobby.]

Yes. Et16 is a very low offset. It would be like having 30mm spacers on!

 

[ksykes23]

Lol might save me buying spacers. I think the trophy 16" is et38.5 which should slot in perfectly. Might have to hit photoshop to see what i can do

 

[Bobby.]

Trophys are 45
172 cups are a lower offset 37.5 iirc

 

[Chip-mk1]

Scooby 17" 5 stud turinis would be a good option for a spot I suppose

 

[ksykes23]

haha think ive changed my mind (common) thinking 16 oz supers in athracite! reckon if i get it low enough, they will look smart
