182 Cup Wheel Offset

[Carlos Fandango]

Been told lot's...........what is it, for the Trophy too please?

 

[Plodwyn]

cup ET 45, not sure about trophy but prob the same

 

[bmh.01]

Yup 172/182 cup wheels are ET45, i'm pretty sure trophy turinis are too afiak.

 

[Da]

182 in all variants are ET45

 

[bmh.01]

I thought the non cupped 182 wheels were ET42 like the 172 ????

 

[Da]

no, they are all ET45 as far as I'm aware mate. They are the same alloy just coloured
The 172 mk2 is ET48 and the 172 CUP is ET38.5

 

[Fletcher]

How much are the spacers to change the offset?

 

[Da]

from what to what? Spacers vary from about £6 a pair upto mega money for hub centric ones.

 

[16vshaun]

deffo different offset form cup to non cup on 182's

 

[bmh.01]

And i'm almost 100% sure 172 wheels are ET42 hence why you need 5mm spacers on the rear of a non-rs to bring them out to ET37 to stop them rubbing.

 

[Adey.]

there all the same except for the turinis on a 172 cup.

 

[drhowser]

phase2 172 is definately 48, try finding wheels to fit!!!

 

[haitch]

all 182's inc trophy are ET45.
172 mk1 is ET43.
172mk2 is ET48.5.
172 cup is ET38.5.

 

[haitch]

as for finding alloys to fit the mk2, if you stay with 16's ET37 to 48.5 is acceptable. 37 being ideal as it widens the track improving the handling. however if you have it low on 17's et37 may rub.

 

[16vshaun]

182 ff wheels in cup form are et48. non cup wheels are 45

 

[drhowser]

ive got it on et37 15s and they rub! not even all that low cos it's on eibach pro's at the moment!

 

[Luke.]

So many different opinions in here. Can anyone clarify the correct offset of a 182 with cup packs wheel offset??

 

[Fred@BTM]

all 182's inc trophy are ET45.
172 mk1 is ET43.
172mk2 is ET48.5.
172 cup is ET38.5.

1000% correct

 

[Fred@BTM]

182 ff wheels in cup form are et48. non cup wheels are 45

1000% incorrect

 

[Lagerlout]

Cup Turinis are 1000% ET38.5. It's stamped on mine iirc!!

 

[Fred@BTM]

^172 cup - yes
182 cup - ET45

 

[ripp]

all 182's inc trophy are ET45.
172 mk1 is ET43.
172mk2 is ET48.5.
172 cup is ET38.5.

as another confirmation, this ^ is correct
P.S: assuming ph1 172 has the same subframe/hubs/wishbones as the ph2 172 looks like it has wider track? that's weird

Hi just want a bit of advice regarding what wheels will fit my non cup phase 2 172. I like the look of cup/trophy wheels but would offset upset handling? and or do 182 wheels fit without problems? My standard 172 wheels are quite kerbed and im getting ready for tyres so looking for set with decent tyres

 

[ripp]

I'd say trophy wheels (they will improve handling as they will stick out 3 mm more) or some lighter alloys. you can go as far as et 35-37 with no problems (maybe some bumper bracket scrub if you're planning on lowering the car)

 

[497adam]

Got pro lines so not overly low, so anything from clio renault sport range is ok?

 

[ripp]

yes everything from the rs range is ok

Reviving an old thread :-D. So 182 Cup, with 172 Cup Turini (ET38.5), will it rub on Eibach Sportline springs?

Don't think so, mine's on cooksports and cup turinis I believe and no rub at all. No spacers either though.

No. I had cup turini's and 16mm spacers front and 10mm rear hub spacers and with 195 tyres and lowered god knows how much on bilsteins it only rubbed on big compressions.

 

[Kev@KAM]

I think I worked it out on one of the wheel calculators that if you move to a 15 x 7 wheel, the matching offset to the 182 cup is the ET38.5.
This should be a little further from the suspension strut and sit slightly inboard compared to the larger wheel and tyre of the 182 cup.
Been a while though so this would need a fact check lol

 

[Coops Mk1]

no thats what i am on currently in the daily, still fine even when fully loaded for tip trips. 205/45 R16 tyres

Were your Turinis 38.5 or 45 offset?

 

[Clio_fool]
