182 alloys -

[jpc]

would the 182 alloys which are fitted as standard fit on my 54 plate 1.4 dynamique?

think that they look great, and i cant get insured on a 182 at 17! lol

advice would be appreciated

They will fit but you may need spacers to stop them rubbing/looking stupid due to the different offset.

 

[jpc]

right...so where would they be rubbing and where do i get the spacers?

new to this so not got a clue!

 

[Turkish]

They might rub on the inner arches or the dampers. Basically the 182 has wider track due to the suspension components and therefore has a higher offset wheel(means the wheel is spaced inwards more) than the other models. So on a car without this wider track the wheel will sit further in. Wheel spacers can be bought from alloy wheel suppliers, you'll more than likely need longer wheelbolts too but they normally supply these with the spacers as a kit.

 

[jpc]

so they will look pretty normal then with the spacers?

where would you recomend getting them online? and how much are they?

cheers

 

[jpc]

anyone?

They'll look fine with the spacers realistically you'll only need 3mm or 5mm spacers which is nothing. Get what online ? the wheels or spacers or both?

lol...well, was talking about the spacers.

i was going to wait for some alloys to come up on forums or ebay, but if theres a place which do replicas, or a good online breakers..let me know.
while im at it...

i can remeber seeing on a renault clio breakers website, some 182 wings plus skirts etc. the example shot was on a dark metalic blue car, btw....was a dynamique...ie. non 182 model, my problem is, cant find the site!!!

any ideas?

j3ned is your man for 2nd hand wheels (works for a specialist renault breakers) or try in the for sale section. No-one makes replicas as for the wheel spacers demon tweeks, r tec or similar are your best bet.
