17's look ace...but are too big, as i found out. lol

16's all day long imo

 

[Clio Adz]

dose 17" effect driving wise?

 

[Clio Adz]

and dose it fit on nicely? do u need spacers achers trimming etc?

 

[Greeny.]

Im all for performance, so id go with 15's and on the deck

 

[Clio Adz]

i only got 1.2 16v, so perforumance not a big thing for me, since i wont be going on tracks etc.

 

[dannyboy172]

On 1.2 you'll be fine, i had 'em on my old one and too tbh there's not much difference in handling, i just wouldn't bother on a sport imo.

Pic of the my old 1.2...

 

[Clio Adz]

did they fit on alright? no spacers etc?

 

[Clio Adz]

and how much can u lower it wen 17" are on?

 

[PYE21]

15's All the way!!!

Now sits a bit lower at the front as well.

 

[dannyboy172]

did they fit on alright? no spacers etc?

No spacers, i got them brand new, so they were the correct offset. It that pic the car is lowered 30mm, but some guys on here - dutty, JLO etc - have seen at least 70mm on 17's (iirc).

sound thanks very much

I'm on 17" ET 43 plus put 5mm spacers all round (it didn't need 'em but the handlings better).

I love these wheels.... They are anthrecite supperleggeras17"

I have to say though even though I've lowered it 30mm on koni's it does still look a bit too talk fron the wrong angle.

If I adn't already spent so much I go for -60mm on 16"

15s are waaaayyyy better

 

[Clio Adz]

not another 1 with a bra lol

 

[dutty_112]

and another one

 

[Clio Adz]

hehe they do look smart on black clios tho

 

[Ruffneck]

Dutty - how come you remove your number plate for some pics, but not others?

P.S - What splitter is that? Is it a cup splitter? Looks nice, looking for a new one myself, for my Dynamique...

[C.slicker]

I cannot see the advantages of 17s myself:

Make clios look like tractors, ruin the ride, ruin the handling, tyres cost a bomb, increase the likely hood of rubbing, slow acceleration (especially on something like a 1.2) and to top it all off are much easier to buckle/crack/bend.

Based on the above I would certainly go for 15s or if you like the look of bigger alloys 16s.

 

[Fletcher]

15 or 16'' no bigger.

 

[Batman]

put 17's on u run the risk of looking like a bag head, get yourself a set of lightweight 15's its the way forward!

 

[msm]

Batman that Black CLIO looks Awesome!!!!! Congrats!

[william...]

Use 8 or 9x15 that will locks great!

 

[Clio Adz]

15" look no were as nice, they look too small imo, and makes the car looks like a toy.
the alloys am after, they only got them in 15" or 17". wished they did have it in 16" tho.
cant make up my mind lol

 

[martino]

stay away from 17's on a 1.2 fella, I've got them on my clio, yes they look good but 16's would look better as I feel they look slightly too big and they make my car painfully slow as its only a 1.2 go for 15's and slam it...

 

[Clio Adz]

there the alloys am after:

There 17" and these are 15"

 

[cafcross]

ahhh wolfrace street octanes. i was after something like that but, like you said, only available in 15s and 17s. try lenso rs5s in black with silver lip, look much better. theyre 5 spoke with a deepish dish and are available in 16s

 

[Clio Adz]

have u got a pic?

 

[cafcross]

 

[Batman]

17's will make a 1.2 so slow i hated mine when i had that combo on

 

[S Garbett]

Very true Batman!

This is mine with 17's on its its was soooo slow, it took 6 weeks to get to 70!

This is mine on 15's atm, handles and performs so much better!
