can you get 17" wheels on a mk 2 ph1? yr 2000

cheers tom

 

[clio__chris]

yup no probs

ull want some lowering tho

 

[RuFF21]

how low without rubbing? 40mm?

cheers
apex the best make?

 

[clio__chris]

apparently u can go down 60mm without too much trouble as long as u get the right offset (et)

apex seem pretty good value for money
dont think u can go wrong with apex really

 

[RuFF21]

well the wheels i want are already on a clio so i assume that they are the right offset alreay? maybe im mistaken

 

[Rip3z]

Your not mistaken.

I think everyone has slightly different experiences with lowering, some go 80mm and have no problems, others complain of rubbing at 60mm.

Coilovers?

 

[RuFF21]

im on a tight tight budget so coilovers is a no no and im 18 so insurance would <3 me

i just want these wheels that im buying to site nicely in the arch was wondering what drop i would need for this, got any pictures of 17"s at different drops anyone? cheers tom

 

[Rip3z]

Gonna have to notify insurance about new size wheels.

Post that request in Media/Pics section.

 

[RuFF21]

i have told them about the alloy, they just said if it doesnt improve the BHP then its fine by us :O

Nearly fell off my stool

 

[Rip3z]

Lol, sounds good to me.

You'll notice a degradation in acceleration by putting bigger wheels on btw mate.

its a 1.2 it aint built for speed
