dare dr-rs

[Ben.phoenix]

Hi guys, i recently bought myself a 1.2 16v 2003 clio. I am looking at getting my self some new wheels and i am really really liking the dare dr-rs wheels. i have contacted a dealer abut the wheels and they say they will fit but the offset is abit off.

i have 60mm lowering springs ready to go on the car but i only want to put them on once i have got my new wheels. does anyone know if these wheels will fit. if not is it just a case of flaring the arches a little bit?

​Cheers

What the PCD of the wheels and offset and Width?

I.e. my alloys are

PCD: 4x100
Offset: ET37
Width: 7J

Clios use 4x100 pcd so if it's not that - you'll need an adapter spacer.

http://www.willtheyfit.com/ will tell you.

these are the wheels

however you can get 8x15".

​any ideas?

does this mean if i get 20mm spacers i can fit the wheels and they should fit ok? as i have a feeling that they will sit too far inside the arch at the moment?

Offset 15-20?

Not sure if thats right but the lower the offset the more the wheel will sit out in the arch. Shouldnt need spacers for anything under ET37 tbh unless you want it to sit wider than normal.

 

[Ben.phoenix]

do you mean sit inside the arch, or stick out?

 

[Zeitgeist0190]

As I understand it, the higher the offset (in mm) the more they'll sit out from the hubs. So ET20 is 20mm off the hub so it'd be hidden right in the arches on a clio. My alloys are ET37 and they sit flush with my arches basically. You'd probably want 15mm spacers with those alloys to make them sit in the arches properly. That'd effectively make them ET35.

I think, someone can confirm this?

 

[Ben.phoenix]

ok that makes sense, that what i was thinking. Thank you. hopefully getting the wheels soon. then i hope to start a project thread.

Et20 will stick out more the et37. You add a 20mm spacer they will stick out loads. Go on willtheyfit.com enter the wheel specs and you will see.

 

[Zeitgeist0190]

Apologies - I obviously got it mixed up and wrong!

 

[Ben.phoenix]

cheers tr1umph.

 

[Adamm.]

Yeah I meant stick out more mate, more poke..

For example ET47 would need 10mm spacers to sit the same as ET37.

 

[Tr1umph]

They will sit nice. This was mine when it was 7j et22

then added 15mm 2 dagree hub spacers making it et7. So you have room for spacers if you want.

 

[Ben.phoenix]

ok they will sit a bit further out . has anyone had these wheels before on a clio and have pictures of how they fit?

 

[Ben.phoenix]

ahh so there not actually that bad thats how i want them to sit. almost on the arches as i have 60mm springs ready to go on aswell. cheers guys. ill really consider getting them

 

[Ben.phoenix]

triumph how much is yours lowered by, and does that ever scrub much?

 

[Tr1umph]

First pik was around 60-70mm rear didn't scrub. last pik is around 90mm rear and did scrub a little on large bumps. Thats with stretched tyres and rolled arches.

 

[Ben.phoenix]

awesome, thatll do me perfect. quite looking foward to doing this as its my first clio project. done other cars before. but only jap cars

That looks like the absolute business Triumph!! Is that the 1.2?

I'm lowered around 50mm with et37 wheels. I was thinking of getting spacers but was worried about scrub on the front arch lip (non-sport wings), you reckon i'd be able to get away with it?
Sorry to hijack the thread from the OP!

little bit of camber

little bit of camber

I'm ashamed to say i don't know how this is achieved...
If anyone wants my man card/keys/licence, they're here for the taking

 

[Tr1umph]

Really not sure about the front mine where always tucked. But at 50mm I don't see why not but really not sure as said camber will help. You can get the camber bolts off eBay for around £20 they go into the top of the two bolts that hold you damper to the hub.
