What will be the best size alloys to put on a N reg Clio?



Ps. I a n00b!

Which model mate?

& depends what you mean by best. Smaller wheels will give you better acceleration, but bigger wheels look better!

As above, without knowing the model its difficult to say!

If its a 1.8 16v or Williams that has the wide arches then you can get 17s on running 205/40/17 tyres with minimal hassle. If its a normal body then youll struggle to go bigger than 16" wheels with 195/45/16 tyres on.

For looks, go for the bigger 17s. As a compromise between looks and acceleration/handling, 16s are the best.

Thats what I reckon anyway!

Oh, and hello newbie person!

has the williams and 16v got a wider body (I know the front arches are wider but are the rear?) than the other models then?
