Pic Request: lowerd 60mm on 17s

[NickMelson]

Anyone got any pics of a non sport or sport lowered on 60mm springs with 17s on.

i am getting new wheels asoon as i find some.

Will the tyres scrub much on the arches?

Tyres are 205/40/ZR17

If i was you i would steer away from 17's. They dont look right on clio's. Go for a 16 it will look loads better. Most on here will advise on no to 17's

Yeah i am doing on the look out for some 15s atm its just i have a set of springs and want to fit them but not sure if it will rub etc wanted to see what they would look like on 17s.

How much will the springs lower it by?

The 40 profile tyre will help a bit.

I have 17" pro race lowered 35mm with 40 profile tyres. I get a slight rub on full lock but not much! lol.

60mm, i think it will rub like a mofo

Gahh thought so

Clio + 17" wheels = tram-lining like a mofo, comedy 4x4 looks or rubbing galore, and nicely expensive tyres.

15's or 16's if you really must ;-)

Mine was lowered 40mm on 17"s and it used to rub like mad

 

[Struggler]

the amount of rub you will get, depends completely on offset of the wheels,
you will have to remove the rear weather guards though,

i had 17's with 205/40/17
and lowered 60mm on Apex, and i didnt get any scrubbing what so ever!

Sorted,

Picking up some 172 wheels tomorrow.

Actually love that, never liked big wheel slammed clios but that is nice :approve:

60mm Gmax springs on 17s:

about 70mm on coilies with 5mm spacers too:

I had to grind away a little bit of the arch lip, but once I had done that there was no rubbing.

You can fit bigger wheels lol

I found my old 17"s cheaper to get tyres for than 16"s
