New Shoes?

[Baz 172]

Hi all, hope you can advise, I been offered these alloys with tyres, was just wondering how much difference going up to 17's from 16's would make on my 172? With regards to power/performance , rubbing (if any) and handling? My car is standard height.



Anyone got these rims on here? Wouldnt mind seeing a pic

depends on the offset will determin on rubbing. Will be a bumpier ride and will handle a bit worse to standard. power wise won't notice difference

Can't help you on the issues side but as the alloy sticks out from the tyre they will be very open to kerbing.

They look like nice wheels, but I can't see them suiting a Clio, maybe an Alfa or similar but not a Clio?

There on a clio at the moment but I havent seen the car yet. Should be seeing it tonight.

I wouldn't get them if I were you for 2 reasons:

1. They aren't very nice wheels (but that's IMO).
2. 17's look terrible on mk2 clios.
