18 " wheels with 215/35/18

[mixerspike]

my sons just bought above wheels 100 pcd we have tried them but cannot bolt them on as need new studs but they seem a bit tight on front strut anyone have these fitted?

 

[Dan@M.A.D]

What clio has he got?

 

[Ben..]

These are going to look BEAUTIFUL :rasp:

 

[Wick]

If they are very tight on the front struts (i.e. catching on the damper) the wheel offset may be wrong. I think this could potentially be solved by spacing them out and away from the struts.

You won't find many on here with 18" wheels unfortunately/fortunately.

its the same as mine 65dci fitted with intercooler well jealous lol

I didn't think it was possible to jam 18" wheels into the arches of a Mk2.

 

[Jonny1*2]

oh it's possible, it just looks stupid.

Pics?

 

[mixerspike]

measuring from one end to the other they are 20mm longer than 195/50/15 thats fitted

18s on a clio?

will look pure sh*te imo

 

[mixerspike]

i,m asking if they will fit not opinion to be honest

 

[SC03OTT]

Your son has thought this through though? I'd imagine the ride will be cack, and with a 35 profile I'd be wincing that any hole I went through would result in a buckled wheel. Is the car lowered, or will it be lowered in the future? I suspect rubbing will become an issue here, or even with folk in the back. I'm no expert though, so could be talking shite. Just something to think about.

Aren't these 17"?

 

[Tom]

Yes. I seriously doubt 18s will fit on the back, probably just about with standard suspension.

What is the offset?

 

[mr.pink87]

18s will fit. Even with coilovers. Won't look good though.

 

[Tom]

Depends on the offset. They wont just fit if they are wrong.

 

[mr.pink87]

Offset can be corrected unless it's stupidly low.

 

[Tom]

Yup

 

[mixerspike]

thanks for advice suspension is standard i don,t think they will look good but i,m not judging just asking if they will fit they look like they will but i myself am concerned about rubbing when loaded don,t want him spending money on new studs, locking nuts and sprigots to find out my concernes with rubbing we all have our opinion about what looks good and what does,nt thats why we all buy different things in life whats good to one is not for another i,ve seen cars on here that don,t look good to me, my opinion if up for discusion then comment yes not that i would run someones pride and joy down thanks for advice who advised will pass on
