18's on A 172 PH2

[paul6]

Will they go straight on? Its already got 17'' wolfrace alloys on it. Had no arch mods done. Thanx

 

[deanf06]

I would imagine they would fit if it was standard fight but i wouldnt because they would look too big imo mate, i suppose if thats what you want though then go fo it

 

[paul6]

yea mate, got shadow chrome wolfrace alloys at the mo, 17's look nice, but have just got a new well paid job so want to spoil my clio lol

nt worth it.will look bad if its not slammed.then they'll foul the arches.get some expensive 16 inch

 

[DrR]

Will look even shitter than the 17's do now. IMO

 

[paul6]

17's look sh*t on a 172???? you gotta be joking mate, they should have left the factory with 17s!

 

[DrR]

Should have left the factory with 15", it's a hothatch not a black mans bling mobile.

 

[Da]

There is so many reasons not to fit 17's to a 172 but even more reasons not to fit 18's!

But anyhow, it's your car

 

[paul6]

to be honest, i've never drove my 172 with standard wheels, it had 17s when i got it. am i missing out on decent handling or acceleration or something?

 

[Da]

Handling,
Speedo will be out,
They'll weigh more.

Oh and the aesthetics
