phase 2 valver wheel fitment on 172

[clioman]

Hi, I'm after some trackd day wheels for my Mk2 172. Would phase 2 valver alloys fit. They are 15"s aren't they?

yeah, they fit fine.

 

[clioman]

aren't they a different offset though or doesn't taht matter?

 

[mr_merc]

not sure mate, I've seen a few 172's with them on - the last one I saw was a blue 172 on here with orange painted phase 2 wheels.

It is mark cup who has the orange wheels. I just did a search and found his photo. I will give him a shout.

Just been looking into this a bit more. I understand wheel offset is the way they are positioned on hub (i think) Would running the valver wheels but wear on the hub or other parts?

would have thought it was fine mate, 172 wheels go straight on a valver with no problems.

id like to see a 172 with phase2 valver wheels on?

This is mark's, i'm sure he won't mind.

If you are only using them on track I doubt it would affect any other parts excessivly. What are the offsets of the valver wheels and the 172 wheels?

 

[clioman]

valver :36
mk2 172: 48

If your using them for track wheels you want to have the same offset as stock alloys offset makes a big difference to the handling.
