Changing alloys on Clio Campus

[Shannonlea97]

I've just bought some Clio alloys- 205/45/16s for my Clio Campus. I previously had 205/55/15s. The tyres are touching the inner plastic and I don't understand why, I've even put 10mm spacers on and they are still touching. Is it something different with the bodywork of a Campus or any suggestions would be great as I've just used the last of my money to buy them.

Are you sure they were 205/55/15s and not 185's? The 16s will be wider and taller if they were 185s. Could be worn dampers but not sure could just be too big, trim back the plastic where it touches

You're quoting the size of the tyre.

What's the offset and width of the new ones vs the old ones ?

That's probably your problem..

If it is on the rear, this is due to the stub axles being narrower, you need to fit 20mm hub centric spacers.
