Spacer question(s)

[Reyes]

With my car, im not aiming to make a replica, i just think that the RS kit looks much better than the std kit, therefore its wider, so;
I was just wandering what spacers i'd need for the front and back so that my wheels dont look as if theyre in the middle of the car..?
Also, would i need spacers for the 172 alloys? (should be picking some up this week)

I know its off topic, but what clio do you actually have. Its really bugging me everytime i see "PH-Yellow 98bhp shinypoo" GAH!

I put 25mm on the fronts, feels the arches well.

ive got 25 front and 10 back
If yours is ph2 with ph2 172 wheels id say 20 front 15 back

 

[Reyes]

Ok thanks, BUT im sure the stance is different? Like the rear is supposed to be wider than the front?

 

[Reyes]

Also, where can i get them from? Im searching the net but no luck atm..

i'd agree with that. May get away with 15 at the back. Standard 172FF looks like it needs spacing too so don't be afraid to get some fairly big spacers on it.
I hate 197s untill they have 25mm spacers on em personally.

Ive noticed that in pics also, seems to make the rear wheel look larger.

Where did you guys get your spacers?

 

[Chrisjk]

I got mine from a seller on ebay, ive checked and there are none for sale by him atm. I paid £44 i think with was a great price.

Russ from Gas Performance sells FK spacers. I'm sure the offset on 15" Dynamique Alloys is 48 and on 172 Alloys is 38 so you need 10mm spacers to correct this to avoid rubbing on the inside. 172 alloys are 1/2" wider put you will still want it a wider track for looks. I put 15mm spacers on mine all round but don't have the wider wings, I didn’t go wider because of lowering it which I still can't afford.

 

[Reyes]

Ah i see, so what about 25mm all around? would that be ok?

Ive got the same problem. Ive got an RS kit on my 1.2 and now the front wheels look lost. The rear arent too bad but could prob do with 10mm. I think im going to go for 20mm at the front and 10mm at the back. Does this sound about right? Oh ive got 16" OZ superleggera wheels btw
