17" alloys hmm...

[Danny92]

got some 17" alloys quite kurbed and need two new tyres but for £50 i thought i may as well? but im having a go at fixing them my self O__o
but are 17's too big for a clio i tired one on the rear fit okay and cleared, but will they be okay on the front?
has any one had/got 17's on there clio any comments and or advice would be helpful thanks dan

I think the handling is s**t with them, thats why no one has them.

 

[Danny92]

ahh (N)
so might just be worth me cleaning them up and selling them, sure ill make a bit on what i got them for? i hope ahah

depends what weels? they can look good but thats about it..

 

[Danny92]

nothing like that there is a place near me that sells them might see how much they would give me for them as they are and if they have any nice once witch will fit mine put them towards them

I really like that.

Danny, probaly better of selling them yeh, tyres cost more than 16/15 too.

 

[Danny92]

yeah will see what i can do with them >.<

i run 17's and my car handles fine and they dont look out of place but it depends on the wheel design i think

Crap drive, not as obvious when you fit them as when you revert back to 15's or 16's. IMO avoid.

 

[mullen]

avoid! i've had 16's then 17's now on 15's which are far better tbh

Look out of place because the car is the wrong colour imo, black Clios can probably pull it off a lot better, I got 17's on mine and I have not noticed handling difference really, just need to get the car lowered so there isn't so much of an arch gap 17's are not everyones cup of tea but they can be pulled off by some clios.

I had 17" wheels on my car when I bought it and it handled like a boat. 16" are much better and don't look like a McDonalds racer.
