Do you think i'll need spacers??

[quikshine]

Im getting a set of 16" 182 anthracite

alloys to put on my black 2001 1.2 Dynamique.. Will I need spacers? say 5mm? Or can they just go straight on? I cant find the thread, but someone else was talking about this on here before..

If I do need them, are there any on ebay that are suitable? Im clueless about this area, so any advice is appreciated!


Cheers

what offset is your car mate i no its a ph2 right? but non sport so will prob be 37mmish i think but could be talking crap?

ive no idea what offset it is! how would I go about finding that out? i'l probably have to bring it to get balanced/re-aligned or whatever you call it so maybe the guys at my local tyre garage will know

you dont need them tbh, they'll go straight on

they are a lower offset than the standard dynamique wheels iirc

if you want spacers purely for looks, remember that you need longer bolts to compensate... don't skimp

Dude i put a pair of 16" 's on my clio II 1.2 1998 and i had a bit of a problem when i went over road areas that where uneven or their was a bit of a ditch, cause the wheels scraped on the inside arch! so i think its better to get a pair of spacers to avoid that. Also be prepared for a big power loss when you put those 16's on, the pull of gets a bit dissapointing. But you cant have the best of both worlds i suppose. Personally im selling my 16's now and getting a pair of 15's, less trouble and better pull off

hope this helped man

peace
