Fair play, how low do you wanna go?

Mines on 60mm lowering springs & 195/50/15's (on my lensos). My winter wheels are running 195/50/15's and ive had no problems, you wont hit the arches

Nah 60mm for me is still driveable, unless you have hench speedbumps you'll be alright haha

ok, thanks, thats cleared a few things up then haha

 

[Loz H]

No worries

 

[Knuckles]

 

[LB197]

loving that, just a little bit higher, freaked me out that old man did, thought someone was watching me.

 

[Paul.M]

Those wheels will look a whole lot better when lowered as you want, you shouldn't get many issues going down 60mm, I can't remember having any issues on my clio that was 60mm lower.

Good effort so far

Knuckles outstanding work with the old man as usual!

 

[Dan...]

That looks alright that - more photos needed though

Looks good with the r19 alloys needs the centre caps to finish them off look good in white. Likeing the yellow fogs.

 

[alexr19]

60mm would look spot on. For me, those alloys need centre caps. Just my opinion. They're still nice without

Those centre caps are like gold dust, ive found a guy on ebay who wants £40 for a set, i only paid £80 for the alloys

 

[car.crash]

Are they the Renault 19 wheels?
Got a set in my garage that I have on loan.
They weigh a ton

 

[LB197]

I think these came off the 1.8 clio, just a little bit heavier than my steelies tbh wouldn't say they're really heavy

 

[car.crash]

1.8 clio and renault 19.
jump onto rtoc, i bet there are plenty sitting in peoples garages. They are not exactly loved on a gtt.
i have to return these ones i have but i can put a offer to him if one is on the table for you.

Thanks for the offer but im gonna leave them for now, the guy has done an alright spray job on them, i quite like them as they.

Also need them to be around the £20 mark as id have to spray them white. Thanks anyway

They would of been of the mk1 clio 1.8 16v.

 

[ben lee]

also fitted on the later 16v renault 19s

 

[Ferris!]

nice, in need of lowering for sure!

 

[Mister_Lee]

Reminds me of my old one.



It's worth going for coilovers, I tried the 60mm apex it didn't quite sit right and to be honest I was just disappointed and ended up with a coilover set later on. Keep your eye on Gumtree and eBay, sometimes they crop up cheap.

When fitting the coilovers, I did have to change the front hubs over to get the correct bolt spacing as mine was 8 valve model, not the 16v model.

 

[.J.a.m.e.s.]

iv had my 182 on 40 mm springs never changed the shocks?
