Clio on 17's

[MOONCHESTER84]

I have a 1.2 Dynamique and wanna change the wheels but dont really want it lowering cos of the warrenty..What are people opinions on putting 17's on it without it being lowered???

Or would i be better off just getting 16's??

It will look like a tractor if you dont lower it.

 

[MOONCHESTER84]

Thought so...

 

[clio__chris]

dont do it mate
it will look disasterous on 17s!

anyway forget about the crappy warrenty......... get that b**ch down on the deck! ull only invalidate ur warrenty for parts related to the lowering!

 

[Nick_R182]

I would go for 16"s and depending on your budget either apex springs or go the whole hig and get coilovers.

So with 16's do u think i will sit ok or will it still look like its on stilts??

i wouldnt bother changing the rims unless its lowered.
A lowered car on hubcaps looks better that a high roller on 17s.
it was 2 hours after i put the 17s on my cup i ordered my apex springs

 

[MOONCHESTER84]

And by what degree do u think it will need lowering..??

40mm, depends how low you want it...with 17's on any lower and it will proberly rub like a bi*ch.

dont go for 17's it will just slow your ass down.

 

[Nick_R182]

depends what you want. 40mm springs look good. Ive got Apex on mine and it sits right in my eyes. You can get up to 60mm but the ride isnt brilliant. Personally i would get 16" on 40mm springs

^^^^yup....

I had 17" alloys, lowered 30mm, custom zorst, induction kit on my 1.2 16v dynam and it didn't affect the warantee.
