Dimensions of non sport 15" wheels?

[Skeeter]

Been looking for some 15" track wheels but nice ones are hard to find so I'm tempted by some cheap stock 15s of another non sport clio, but details are hard to find. There's some from a mk2 that look like smaller stock 172 wheels, but they seem to be 6.5J not 7? Does this affect tyres? Can you still run 195 tyres (mine look slightly stretched on my wheels anyway) or do you have to go down to 185? Does anyone run other non sport clio wheels on there's sports? Any ideas on the offsets? Any ones worth looking out for?

Cheers

I'm running 195s on my non sport alloys (the smaller versions of the 172 ones) and they run fine

Any idea what the offset of things like the 15" 172 style or Dynamique wheels are?

For info. anything over 5 inches wide can carry a 195 tyre without issues...unless it's stooopid wide and you're going for the stretched look.

Lol.

I think 195 on the stock 7" 172 rim is actually to narrow. They look mildly stretched and after some thrashing yesterday I had marks and road dirt halfway down the Toyo logos on the side wall. I can see why they went to 205 for the 182.

But finding details on non sport wheels is difficult as nobody seems to bother with them.
