Hi guys,

Below is my Clio 172 MK2. Its a 2002 model. What do you think? Its stock as it gets. I am in Sydney so we only get 195/50/15 tyres and 15" rims.

Hi Adam,

The car is 2002. I got it used this yar May. But its in excellent condition thats why i picked it up And no ESP

P.s. iwas htinking to get the clear side repeaters like the ones on 2003+ models, but do you think orange repeaters look better?

Cheers,
Kenn.

15s were standard on the Aussie cars iirc... the 195/45 16 dont meet there load requirements

 

[k3nnis]

Thanks for the link. I was thinking aout getting 182 wheels on mine. i.e. 205/45/16. Will the speedo be out of whack much? Thats what i am worried about changing from 192/50/15 to 205/45/16.



Cheers,

K.

 

[Clarkie172]

speedo will not really be effected! get some!

 

[jph172]

strouth!! must be quick with 15s

 

[k3nnis]

Hi guys,

I dont think there will be much diff if any between 15" and 16" but i may be wrong Thats why i am still thinking whether to get 182 16" wheels

Cheers,
Kenn.

looking good definately get some 16s on, either 182 wheels with 3mm spacers or 172 16" wheels. Either way get the 205 tyres on them.

 

[k3nnis]

Hi Loony,

You mean if i go for 182 wheels i need 3mm spacers? They dont fit in directly with no mods?

Cheers,

Kenn.

 

[cat171]

looks nice (ive never seen a 172 from oz before) nice house too.

 

[k3nnis]

Thanks cat171. Yeah our 172 is the same as the UK i believe, just the wheels are 15" instead of 16". Pity really.



Cheers,

Kenn.

 

[Clarkie172]

shouldnt need spacers mate

 

[Turkish]

They will fit straight on but 182 wheels are ET45 and 172 wheels are ET42 so they will fit straight on but youll be reducing the track so personally id fit spacers to keep the track as wide as it would be with the 172 wheels.

Mike172sport has 182 (grey) wheels on his 172.

 

[k3nnis]

Hi GUys,

Thanks for that. Do you have a link where Mike172sport has a pic for his car? Also what is th eadvantage of having the track wider?

Cheers,
Kenn.
