advice on rota wheels

[Ryan adams]

hi i`m new on here iv just gone and got so rota grid 15/8J for my 182 and need some help as the guy i got them off said they would be fine but when i went to kwik fit and they said there not sure if it will rub with Tyre 225/50R15 iv not lowered it so would it be OK or not if anyone could help me with this problem i would be very grateful

I sure they’ll be fine.

Jack it up and try one on?

By my (probably wrong) calculations, the large profile 15s still come out smaller than the standard profile 16s

hi thanks for getting back they dont have tyres on them yet so you think they will be ok ?

 

[imprezaworks]

Go with 205 tyres? Why do you want 225?

 

[Ryan adams]

kwik fit said 225

 

[imprezaworks]

195/205 will be fine. 225 is too much.

 

[Ryan adams]

brilliant thank you so much for the advice ill order them online instead :smiley:

 

[Ryan adams]

so 205/50 ?

 

[imprezaworks]

Yeah 205/50/15. What tyres you getting?

195 are cheaper but with 8j wheels may be a stretch.

4 x 205/50/15 R15 89V Toyo Proxes T1-R Performance Road Tyres of ebay

 

[imprezaworks]

Nah. Get better tyres mate.

 

[Ryan adams]

Am i right in thinking the caliper needs grinding a little? Or what that with grid v's?

 

[Ryan adams]

mine are rota grid concave so just have to wait and see

Did you not get the memo about 1*2 wheels in your membership pack??

You're only allowed to fit Turini's/2118's/OZ F1's or TD wheels to a Clio mate.

Sorry.

 

[Ryan adams]

Why?

 

[General Dave]

Why?

Just a joke mate, Most only fit the above wheels around here. #JokeFail

 

[Ryan adams]

You had me thinking then lol

Who takes f**king Kwik Fits advice on anything? Bunch of total monkeys.

This website is good for getting an idea how a wheel/tyre combo will sit.
