mk2 172 alloys - offset

[taxi driver]

can anyone recommend a replacement set of 16's which have same offset as original wheels( et48.5 ) have checked a few fitment guides on online alloy stores and they all quote offset of 35-38 for clios

cheers

Why do you not want ET38's? I have just fitted Cup Turinis which have an ET38 offset which has made the car much sharper and more responsive. The looks have also improved with the wheels filling the arches as they should.

Most so called knowledgable car related places that think they know about alloys always say clios are mid 30's, just shows how little they know

As said above turinis are ok as the offset is ten less than the mk2 172 wheels so they'll give you the 10mm 'Cup' wider track i.e 5mm either side

Is it not 10 mm either side and 20mm in total ie 48 - 38 = 10mm?
