Spacers f**k the handling up by all accounts.

I've heard this............
Didn't know how true it was because the cup racers use wider wheels so thats surely the same as spacers?
Clio 197
I think all Renault wheels for these are ET68, certainly factory Speedlines are the same as the 12 spokes.

Spacers won't f*ck up the handling in any way that you'd notice.
How do you think the racers run?

Everything I've read says they do. Something to do with the perfo hub nonsense. iirc gaz had spacers on the 197, ripped them off very quickly.
the speedlines that the racers use are slightly wider than the road speedlines. no spacers on the racers

Did my first track day at Beford Autodrome on the 28th February. Was a great day out if not a bit cold!!
Didn't manage to get any on track pics and I wasn't prepared to pay the price for the professional photo's when there was only 1 I really liked!

Standard wheels are back on and the orange wheels have been sold because I disliked them so badly lol
Got to keep my eye out for some Cup Racer speedlines which are 8J width so pull off the 225 tyre a bit better. However whilst the 888's have 5mm on them they are perfectly fine for the road.
Will get some more wheels when the tyres aproach 1.6mm

Couple of pics of the tyres which were picked up from Hull.
Picked up some KW V1's last night. So after a 380 mile round trip to St Helens in the work van here they are - will be fitting them this week.
I'd like to point out the dent in the back door wasn't me
After a wash
And a polish up!

Well.........
Attempted to fit the coilovers today, and after being told countless times that 197 and 200 suspension setups are the same - you're wrong!
The 200 top mounts are smaller in diameter so they don't fill the top coilover cup and the rear shock piston has a larger diameter so it doesn't fit through the 200 bushes!
So I've ordered a couple of 197 top mounts and rear shocks for tomorrow to try! If not its back to standard...........again!
