Just ordered Ultraleggeras

[Shawi]

Just ordered the OZs from www.performancealloys.com, I hope the offset they send me is correct. I stated my car as a Clio Sport 182. But again, im not sure if the wheels will fit w/o adjustments? What do u guys think. all feedback appreciated. Thankss

So is there anything i can do to make them fit?

 

[Shawi]

but will it fit if my car was lowered?

 

[Da]

but will it fit if my car was lowered?

I don't believe so, no.

Well...the only method I heard being used is machining the alloys to suit the car.
Dan page had it done, drop him a PM

 

[Shawi]

u mean scraping a bit off the inside of the wheel to make it fit right?

 

[Da]

erm...I seriously don't know what he had done, all I know is they wouldn't fit so he got them 'machined'.

 

[Shawi]

I think i know what im supposed to do now. The holes will fit exactly though right

 

[Da]

Yes, if they're 4x100. It doesn't actually say on that site you put up.

 

[Shawi]

I mentioned that i need 4x100 wheels as well in the additional comments box when i placed the order. I just hope the order goes well. All i have to do is add 5 or 6 mms to the back of the wheel to make it fit well

No, you have to take off 6mm It's the opposite way round. I thought OZ had a 42/45mm offset though?

Are u sure? I thought I had to add more cos the wheels hit from the inside??

 

[f0xy]

my Oz 16's are ET36, car is slammed and they fit perfect

Wel.. thats good to know. Just gonna wait till i get them and check them out on the car. I hope they fit w/o any adjustments. My car is lowered with Eibach springs. So hopefully it'll look ok?

 

[f0xy]

should look good!

Yep I'm sure, it's basically how far the mounting bit (where it touches the wheel) is offset from the centre line of the wheel. Basically, the higher the number, the more it sticks in

So you've effectively done yourself a favour really, as the wheels will look the same as if you've put 8mm spacers on already to widen the track.

 

[Shawi]

should look good!

Thanks for your help.

Hey, thanks to u, Now i know what the offset thing is all about. Cheers

tbh i really really cant see 8mil making any difference at all unless it was slammed on its backside.

[Final Maxim]

looks sweet and itll be fine.

 

[Shawi]

CHeers mate!!

Gumby is correct, you need 8mm taking off the wheels. As for f0xy's car (Jordan), his isn't a 182 so it's irrelevant that ET36 fits his as his standard ET is 37! lol!

If they fit yours fine Shawi then please do let me know!

 

[Fred@BTM]

they'll scrub on a 182

Im gonna take off around 6 mm of the wheel. Fitment should be fine. Cant wait to get the wheels. Got everything sorted out .

Thanks everyone for all the feedback, i really appreciate it

 

[Fred@BTM]

how do you plan to "take 6mm off the wheel"

 

[Gumby]

Mach 3's are quite good for that or so I've heard...

Ill use Gillete shaving cream, hope it'll work

Ill get the wheels machined. u have any other suggestions on what i should do?

 

[Dan Page]

They will deffinately rub on your 182, as I said, get them machined and they will fit perfect like mine did

The place that done mine took them too ET43 as thats the furthest they could take them but they were fine then

 

[Da]

Sorry for the hijack, but Dan how much did the machining cost? PM me if you prefer?

 

[Dan Page]

A friend who works at motorsport wheels used to have a b/g 182 on here MikeA got them done for me.

Because he deals with the company that done them alot they done them for free for me as he said it was for a good friend i think. Your best off pm'n him and asking him for a price. Looks fit on the ultra's dont it haha.

what model has foxy got, as mine is a ph2 1.6 dynamique and the offset is et43. everyone always quotes dynamiques as 37/38 but its not necessarily true.

 

[Dan Page]

where did u get et43 from mate? im pretty certain that every none sport is 37!

Rubbish! All mk2 non-RS's are et37.

 

[Fred@BTM]

nope they're actually ET48 (i think) in standard form (dynamiques are anyway)

Cheers, appreciate it. Guess im gonna have to machine them then. Im gonna make them machine about 4 or 5 mm. should be fine right?
