Lowering Question?

[96CLIOMK1]

Hey im about to purchase some 17' Lenso's for my Clio MK1 and was wondering how low i should go safely.

If anyone could show me some pics of their lowered clios with 17's that would be wicked.

Thanks

Hello Mate, is it a Valver u have or a RL or RT

anyways 17s id say 35mm-40mm

if its not a valver u may need Valver wings as theyre more flared..

 

[96CLIOMK1]

Its an RL, what are valver wings mate?

 

[joel_b]

Well TBH mate, ud be better with 15s if its not a Valver, but thats your choice

Valver Wings are the front Wings, but theyre more wider then the STD RL Clio ones this will reduce your tyres scrubbing and costing u a lot in rubber

Private Message ClioGav he has 17s fitted to a RT

Ah his RT Is gorgeous, do u know if the wings are expensive? and hard to fit? will they interfere with installing a body kit?

You can go -55mm front with a standard clio but dont expect your wings to last too long :quiet: Mines about 80-90mm at the rear with no problems

I've got 16v wings now, expect to pay around £30-45 for a pair and try your best to find them the same colour as your car or your looking £100ish to spray.

Please dont fit a bodykit! Which lenso wheels you after?

Im not a chav but i want my car to look better than bog standard, the kit i chose i feel comfortable with.
