197 wheel fitment ???



  clio 197
does anybody know what pcd and ET the wheels are on a 197 ?
the wheels are 5 x ? and want to know what the ET is so i can get some with a lower offset to fill the arches better.
i've already checked the back of the wheels but its not stamped on!
thanks jase...
 
  clio 197

i am after orderen new wheels for mine 197 bud it take 6 week

cheers.
i kow now though that they are 5x108 with 60.1 bore because i bought some massive H&R 25mm spacers to fill the arches(looks loads better)
63et ?...that would explain why they dont fill the arches thats about 20-30 mm higher than most other renault wheels. .
most other 5 stud renault wheels will fit.they were all 5 x 108. with 60.1 bore.

Its because the front suspension isn't simply a Macpherson strut like Clios with the axis of the strut being the steering axis. The steering axis is a lot closer to vertical so the brakes have to be mounted further out and that makes a deeper dish wheel necessary.

yeh but,the wheels nowhere near fill the arches.they could have used a lower offset to fill the arches more and still cleared the callipers,its more the shape of the back of the wheel spokes that determins if theyll clear the callipers not the et.

ET63, wow!

What are the Meggy 225 wheels? I'm sure I've seen pictures of a 197 with Meggy 225 wheels.
