Lowering a clio on 18s

ANDY02 · Feb 6, 2003

Has anyone lowerd an 2002 clio on 18s by 60mm and had any bother. I hav lowerd mine by 30mm on 18s but want to go that extra step.

ClioJohn · Feb 6, 2003

prob could, might involve minor arch work

Fred@BTM · Feb 7, 2003

No problems mate, ive done 60mm on 17s and i can have a full car, so i reckon its possible

What wheels have you got?????

ClioJohn · Feb 7, 2003

man they must look massive on a wee clio. does it look good?

ANDY02 · Feb 7, 2003

THE WHEELS ARE DARE V2s WITH A 215/35/18 AND THEY DO LOOK HUGE AND MAKE THE CAR LOOK LIKE A ROLLERSKATE THATS WHY IM TRYING THE EXTRA DROP IF ITS POSSIBLE.

Tom · Feb 7, 2003

Any pics?

didnt think that was possible

Steveold · Feb 7, 2003

I even think 17s look too big so 18s lol

Clios look best with 16s im my opinion

Tom · Feb 7, 2003

Yep

18 have gott be touching the spring cup on the shock

and as for the back no way!! there isnt room!! i just had a look on mine

Fred@BTM · Feb 7, 2003

18s on a clio are defo possible as i have them as well, mine is lowered 40mm and it is tight as a badgers arse but i looks wicked, the bodykit i got needed altering slightly to fit the wheels i can have a full car and full lock no probs, only thing i will say is this is scrubs slightly on the drivers side rear but thats due to the side skirt being in the way. I asked merseyspeed about a 60mm drop it will need work but it can be done.

A guy near where I live has a 1999 Clio lowered 85mm on 18s with no arch work... wondering how?

Begins with c....

ends with ...rs! And they only cost him £500. He bought them in France.

ANDY02 · Feb 19, 2003

clio lowerd 60mm on rear and 40mm on the front. we had rubbing on the front(alot) and sound as a pound on the rear hence putting 40s on the front and 60s on rear. if any one is considering lowering a clio on 18s i found two bolts that had to be removed or would have caused huge damage. they are at the back of the rear arches and hold the inner arch in. just whip them off and your away.or you will need two new tyres very soon. pics of me clio very soon adding final touches.

ANDY02 · Feb 24, 2003
