new wheels for clio 200

[wizzz0]

hi all looking to get some new oz Ultraleggera alloys not sure in the size i need for my clio 200 is the photo below correct, and how wide should i go on the tyres

Those specs are perfect for the 200. You can go with the standard 215s or fit 225s on them too. Is there only one offset available for them at that size?

No worries, I thought that was the case. They'll fill the arches nicely

I just had a look on the internet and they were available in both 8jx55 and 7.5jx45. The 8j ones will weigh a little more however they have a higher offset so will sit more in the arches than the 7.5j ones will. Both widths can use 215 tyres so ultimately the deciding factor would be how far out you want the wheels to sit and whether you need a wider wheel. I personally would go with the 7.5j ones as they make the car look so much better but the 8j ones would put less strain on the wheel bearings and are closer to the OEM alloy offset which was 63 iirc

I'll check mine and see what size they are, they do sit really, really nicely.

I've got the 8J ones on mine, very happy with the way they sit in the arches personally, but it's just a personal choice
