182 Alloys on 172 Tyres?

[electricfurnace]

Hello, is it possible to have 182 alloys installed on the standard 172 tyres?

Basically prefer 182 alloys but I have 4 excellent tyres on my 172 clio sport.

if they fit is it a DIY jobbie or would i need to take it somewhere?

Any pointers appreciated!

Cheers
Alex

will be fine, both 182 and 172 wheels are the same fitment, size etc I believe.

Any decent tyre fitter would be able to do it. As dr said, the wheels are the same size.

Cool, so if I bought the wheels I could just take it to a tyre place and ask 'em to swap the alloys over? Any idea how much it would cost?

Im assuming they wont need balancing as its only the alloys being changed?

Would need to be balanced again.

They would need balancing! Imagine it would be £20ish.

Cool, I better keep a lookout for a set of 182 alloys then!

ebay probably the best to look? Any where else?

Thanks

does your 172 have 15" or 16" wheels?
