right cool. whats the difference anyway?
When you buy replacement tyres that have to fit the wheel diameter, and be neither too wide or too narrow for the wheel width, and be not much smaller or larger in diameter than the original tyres, and not be too wide to fit under the guards without rubbing, including when the suspension was compressed by a load of passengers or by going over a bump. The Clio is a car that doesn't have a lot of room for much bigger tyres than the 205s that Renault put on the 182s standard.
And you have to remember that even if they fit, if you go to a lot bigger and wider wheel and a wider tyres, that the wheel+tyre combination will be alot heavier than the standard wheel+tyre, so while you might get better grip on a dead-smooth road you totally bugger up the ride on rougher surfaces. So if you go to a bigger diameter or width wheel than the standard 16x7 on the 182s it may look good, but it won't actually work any better. In fact in a lot of circumstances it'll be worse.
A 17" diameter wheel isn't a problem by itself. A 215 width tyre isn't a problem by itself. They're both about the maximums that you can practically fit in a Clio. But a 215/45x17 would be way bigger in diameter than a standard Clio tyre. That's a wheel+tyre combo that's really only suitable for a bigger car that has bigger diameter tyres standard. Put it on on a Clio and it'd rub at both front and rear, it'd jack the car up higher off the ground, it'd stuff up up the gearing, and it'd stuff up the ride. Even a 215/40x17 is significantly bigger in diameter than the standard Clio tyre. The ideal would be a 215/35x17, if such a size exists. It would be the right diameter. It would fit providing you made sure you got wheel with exactly the right offset so they sides of the tyre would clear the strut at the front and the guards at the rear.
