Alloys (How wide can you go)

[Tom_16v]

I quite like a set of Momos but have been told they only do 7" wide, not 6.5"!

Will 7"x16" alloys, 195/45//16 tyres, and a -50mm drop be ok?

What problems (if any) am I likely to face?

I am running 7 x 17 with 205 wide tyres on a -35mm drop & it only catches on the front at full lock.

I think that you will be fine.

& can u not use wheel spacers on the front to sort that rubbing problem on full lock?

 

[James Clio 16v]

No pictures at the moment, will try & get some up soon.

As for the rubbing, spacers would probably sort this out, but it only catches ever so slightly, so therefore it is not really worth doing.

BTW, the fronts used to catch on full lock before I lowered the car.
