[dramatik_clio]

lindu....eu keria mesmo é que alguem responde-se pk tou a pensar trocar para 17" e preciso de saber k offset usar

 

[Bryan]

supposed to be ET48 but people have fitted other sizes to them

 

[Tom]

et38 is best

 

[RobFenn]

Is that the offset of the cup wheels you have on?

 

[RobFenn]

oh and do you know what offsets speedline offer with the cup wheels

 

[Tom]

the offset of the cup wheels i think is either et38 or et38.5 (if thats possible)

no youll have to ask speedline

[Fred@BTM]

dramatik, I use 7x17inch ET37 with a 60mm drop and have NO problems at all (even with a car full of people)

 

[dramatik_clio]

Fred2001Dynamic, wich springs you use to get a 60mm drop?i ve H&R 50mm and i think the car is too high

 

[BUTRE]

dramatik, tas a ver pq e q eu prefiro o ppl de uk ao de pt? muito mais friendly nas ideias e recorrem sempre a criticas criativas!!!

Dont go more than 15x7... the car must roll well... fast reving is important for me at least. Losing an sec on 0-60 its a shame.

 

[Fred@BTM]

Pi or Spax dramatik, hope you can get them in portugal??????

 

[dramatik_clio]

BUTRE podes crer....este pessoal é excelente

Fred2001Dynamic, i cant get Pi springs in portugal, but Spax i know a shop that has them....but theyre too hard for the portuguese roads....roads in portugal suck...and BUTRE knows that

 

[Bryan]

i was told that the offset of the clio was 48, oh well

 

[RobFenn]

It is.

 

[dramatik_clio]

fred i would like to see your car....can you send me some pics to mailto:dramatikclio@hotmail.pt">dramatikclio@hotmail.pt ? please

 

[theICEman]

OK, definitive answer needed... is it 35, 37 or 48????? Im about to order some new wheels and I wanna get a perfect fitment! Cheers guys.

 

[dramatik_clio]

theiceman....i will put 37....thats what fred as so i will put them

 

[Fred@BTM]

Ok ill clear this up!!!!!!

Standard 15inch wheels on a clio ARE ET48

BUT if you upgrade to 17s in an ET48, the wheel wont fit on because it wont fit pass the strut cup where the spring sits. The wheel needs to sit further out so it can fit the arch (remeber that a 17inch wheel is 7inches wide!!! a 15inch std wheel isnt hence the ET 48 offset, so it sits furrther into the cars body)

TRUST ME YOU NEED ET37 +/- 3MM

This is an old picture, the car is a fair bit different now!!!!!

[Fred@BTM]

I have a Backbox exhaust too built by Powerflow, ill get some more recent pics for you soon

 

[theICEman]

Fred, Id like to see your latest pics also. What else have you done? exhaust, filter, tints I know of... but have you done any bodywork mods?

 

[Jim_Bob]

[dramatik_clio]

nice backbox. is it a supersprint? and is it especific for the 1.2 16v?

 

[theICEman]

Looks more like the exact Scorpion Boxer exhaust Ive got to me!!! If it is, have you got the whole system or just backbox? And dramatik_clio, its not just for the 1.2 16v, it will fit most of the range from 98 onwards, except diesel and 172.

 

[theICEman]

Oh actually, silly me - Fre, youve got the Powerflow! Looks identical to myScorpion tho!

 

[BlackClio16v]

I got 17s on mine to with a 35mm drop but havent got a clue what the offset is so ill just show ye some pics instead

BalckClio16v sorry about the pic

Tires

Im thinkin in Falken ZE512 and Dunlop Sp 9000 in 205/40 17. does 215/40 17 fits?is it too much for a 1.2 16v?

 

[BlackClio16v]

i think they will fit the ones i have are 205/17/40 so i presume so.



Fred2001Dynamic any suggestions?? o masterful one lol

 

[Fred@BTM]

Dont bother with 215s, no point really!!!! (theyll scrub probably)

Black, your car is identical to mine except i have the anthracite SuperLs, my car is lowered 60mm + i have leather (and a TV+PS2!!!!!)
