Clio 200 Wheel Spacers

[MadUsa1]

I'm considering fitting spacers to my 200 to improve the stance.

Does anyone have experience with this?

Does it improve / destroy the handling?

Are there any tyre rubbing issues?

Will it work ok with the Toyo R888's I have fitted?

Is it suitable for track use??

Iirc gaz fitted them to his 197, said it completely ruined the handling.

really? What did it to? more understeer? more oversteer? poor steering feel?

Indeed, i wouldn't.
If you 'drive' your car and not pimp about town, don't bother. I ran mine on H&R coilovers for about 18months before trying some spacers, so knew everything about how it felt/reacted (awesome) Fitted some spacers, and it ruined the car. Felt so nervous on the brakes, seemed to lurch all over the place. Felt scary to drive. Took them off and flogged them to some poor b*****d after 4 days lol

thanks for the input mate, guess I can put that idea to bed then. shame, they do look good with a slightly wider track, not worth ruining the wonderful handling for though.
