Right.. som Q's on tire size/spacer size on a coiled ph1 172

[BoomOne]

So, im planning on getting the konigsport kit in the group buy, and there are a few things that i would like to do at the same time, but i am not sure if they would work..

Firstly, i want to put a set of 205's on the std ph1 rim.. is this possible? and done along with a drop am i going to get rubbing on the front and back??

Secondly, i was thinking of getting a set of 25mm spacers, would this be a good idea on a coilover drop on the std 195 tires? and would there be any problems with the same spacers on a 205 tire with the drop?

Lastly i think.. is getting th polyflex bushes from k-tec not a good idea considering the mods i want to add?

All this is going to be done to a pretty much every day driven clio..

Any feedback is much appreciated

205 tyres will fit but are almost twice the price of 195's and I don't really see any advantages of having them (I looked into this the other week).
Spacer wise the best track width on a clio is widely regard as what the 172 cup has. In which case you need to increase the overall track by 10mm so will need 5mm spacers on each side.
Wouldn't bother with the polybushes personally but its your call.

I would keep 195 tyres and add the spacers of your choice though try not to stray to far from the track width that the cup has as you will end up wearing bearings etc out quickly.

Were 172 cups 20mm at front 10mm rear or vice versa?
