Alloy Wheel Width

[CMiles1991]

I'm looking to buy myself some alloy wheels on my 1.2 Clio (52 plate) within the next few weeks or so and to save myself some time when im choosing, i just wondered what width of tyre people have on their Clio's so i know not to go too wide so the wheels won't turn!

Running on 205's atm with no spacers or rubbing, checked properly last night while it was over the pit. Dont think i could go much wider though, not without spacers.

Cool thanks for that. I'm going to go for 17" rims so im guessing around 200 will be alrite?

 

[jenic]

Can you get 200, thought it was 195 or 205, mine are on 16's with car lowered 40mm.

 

[CMiles1991]

Mine's not lowered i'll keep that standard. I thought it was either 195 or 205 but my mate has 200 on his Astra which got me abit confused. Thanks for the help anyway

I av got 195 16's m8y lowered 60mm and all good.

im running 215 on 16's lowered 40mm, no troubles at all

 

[CMiles1991]

i'm thinking of lowering mine 40mm so do you think 195 will fit 17"

194/45/16 --- 100mm low

mine was on 205/45/17's and the back rubbed on the inside so possibly has the wrong offset.. nothing spacers wouldnt sort out!

 

[CMiles1991]

best stickin with 16's imo mate, 17s wont do the handling any favours and look too big on clio's. 16's and slam it
