2003 Megane Alloys On A 2001 Clio

Russ. · Jan 26, 2006

hi, as above really just wondering if the stud fitment etc will be correct for these alloys to go on my clio. the tyre size is currently 205 55 16 which i know wont fit which is a shame as the tyres are all fairly decent. which brings me to my next question, what is the best size tyre to go for and what sorta price am i looking at per corner for them?

gettin a bargain on the alloys though 4xwheels and 7 tyres lol £125

ta, russ

yeah they have the same stud pattern but i dont know about the offset.

blink172 · Jan 26, 2006

195/45 or 205/45. 205's are more pricey but a little wider.

Middo · Jan 26, 2006

they'll fit. A clio round here has some of the 17's on sprayed black looks the nuts

(not sure if he has had any arch work done)

The Big Yin · Jan 26, 2006

Yeah they will deffo fit

Russ. · Jan 26, 2006

just bought the wheels. got some good tyres on atm shame theyre too big, p6000s and dunlop sports, gonna get them on the bay i think. need sell them before i can afford some new rubber though

lol

Middo · Jan 26, 2006

in what way are they too big? too wide?

WeeGad · Jan 26, 2006

Should these not just fit with the tyres that are already on them seeing as they are 16"

Russ. · Jan 26, 2006

theyre tractor tyres lol not too wide but theyre biiggg wud look like a tractor tbh

Middo · Jan 26, 2006

yeah - just read the thread through and its just made sense lol. 45profile would be better for your arches as it would maintain the original rolling radius. 55 should fit tho, but would just look a lil odd

edit: hate it when someone puts a comment whilst im writing mine lol

Russ. · Jan 26, 2006

lol, yeah im thinking about getting 205 45's put on and either a 40mm or 60mm drop, wat u think? one all this craps outa the way its either colour coding or foggies

hehe

Russ. · Jan 27, 2006

alloys ive got, sorry bout crap quality took on camera fone

Middo · Jan 27, 2006

should look good mate, when you get some money i'd have em refurbed in anthracite, would look awesome

Russ. · Jan 27, 2006

yeah hoping they look good, gona have to get a good quality pic of the wheel and my car ask some kind geeza to photo shop them for me then lol gona be a couple of weeks before im able get them on i reckon.

also hoping to be a bit more unique with them being megane rims

lemonnobby · Jan 27, 2006

sorry but there not megane alloys there from a old laguna

Rich_16v · Jan 27, 2006

When did the 5 stud meganes start?

Russ. · Jan 27, 2006

laguna then, either way lol got told theyre megane but not too bothered reali.

Middo · Jan 27, 2006

looks like the base model megane alloys to me. have seen some similar on newish lagunas tho.

All will be revealed in that link

Russ. · Jan 27, 2006

ahhh, cheers for that.

You think its likely to foul on the arches then?

just noticed my post count is into triple figures now

Day · Jan 27, 2006

Quite possibly - you can use wheel spacers to get around it.

Also you might need longer wheel bolts if you don't want the wheel to fall off!

Russ. · Jan 28, 2006

just had one of the alloys on the car and taken lotsa pics lol looke like a spacer maybe required but unsure. what you all think? (link to pics at bottom of post) and what size spacer am i likely to need? ta, russ

any chance of posting the individual links to the photos, as the link you've posted never seems to work. (clicked on it a couple of time now, but is prob my computer)

Russ. · Jan 31, 2006

Middo · Jan 31, 2006

looks like it clears the shocks ok from the pics you've posted. i had a similar problem when fitting my latest wheels, basically due to the fact i guessed the offset. the easiest way to work out what spacer you need imo is to jack the car up using a trolley jack, similar to what you've done here:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v337/russ9898/DSCF0597.jpg
then lower the car down reallly slowly. you can then hold something straight up against the wheel - like a ruler - to see where it will sit in the arch.

you can then work out if you've got any room to play with, and what sort of size you'll need. would be more accurate with a tyre on tho lol

Russ. · Feb 1, 2006

lol couple of tyres will be on the wheels later this week hopefully so i can get a better idea then. im in a dilema....do i wait till next month when i can afford all 4 tyres (possibly get a discount on them) or get sum this and some next month. they wont be on till the cars lowered anyway.

you ever used hotlane tyres middo?

Middo · Feb 1, 2006

that the one in burslem? cant say ive ever been there myself.

i normally use saxon tyres in biddulph (my local lol) but when my tyres are due, will probably get them from somewhere like mytyres, or blackcircles, and then get them to fit them. last time i checked it worked out much cheaper.

id stick to buying 4 at a time

Russ. · Feb 1, 2006

roughly how much you payin for fitting?

duno a lad name tom young do u, hes from biddulph, hes either 18 or 19 so similar age to u.

Middo · Feb 1, 2006

nah cant say ive heard of him.

about 25quid for 4 tyres fitted and balanced. cash of cause

dont mind payin it, as they're always doing little bits and bobs for free, so cant complain
