every days i see my clio whit pro race (7*15 ET35), i think was glam but need spacer!

what do you think?

i've my old 16mm spacers but if i put them, the rims touch the arch...

now i've only 15mm by the rims to the arch...1 inch...

i remeber to all that i have only -35mm Eibach springs whit quite hard absorber...but the rims thrusts under the wheel arch!

Why would you put 15mm spacers on if the wheels touch the arch with 16mm spacers fitted?
I'd try 10mm mate

10mm spacers are needed on a clio imo, lowered mine last week on sportlines and the stance just doesn't look right from a front angle

I had the type where you bolt the spacer to the hub, then the wheel bolts to the spacer (hubcentric)

Don't think it was a 100% perfect fit at the time but it made an awful noise. Only lasted 3 miles lol then I sold them on as I changed my mind

yep, hubcentric...like mines...

mines are ok...no noise or vibration...

my problem was the distance...et35 + 16mm spacers are too much and the wheel touch the arch?

I'm running with 20mm spacers at the moment and only lowered on sportlines. The rubbing isnt too bad to be fair and the stance looks ace (as i cant afford to go lower lol!)

A quick fix for the rubbing is to grind away the inner lip of the wheel arch. Grind it away, paint it with hammerite (black will do as it is the inside of the wheel where you cant see) and then tiger seal it. Took me about half an hour and its well worth it as it gives about 4-5mm more room :cool:




Sorry for rambling on :eek:

You have wheels with offset (ET) 35 . This is the best ET , do NOT go out further mate !

My Cup has ET 38 (so 3mm further in than yours) , and when i corner hard i get scrubbing off the front wheelarch.

I also think the car looks quite good with the offset 35. why go further !?

hey peppe, nice to meet you! :)

...my gf was from oristano...i know very well that area!!! the road to Cuglieri was my private roller coaster! ROFLT! you know that road?

so i'ts true that the world is too small mate! do you speak italian? ;)

there are many sardinians who went away to find a job... that's sad!

172? mmm...when i've ordered mine Dynamique, i tried to find some coins in my pocket to take the 182...but not arrived at 10 000 euros! LOL !!!

so..my next car will be RW and, I hope, at least 300 hp!

:D

put spacers only on the front, so the rear turns better on the entrance of the corner;)

mmm...no mate...now my clio goes fast on the large corner and if i make the corner too fast, when i release the throttle, the rear close the corner perfectly... ;)

then i want to fit same spacer on front and right...but mine 16 mm don't fit because the tyre kiss the wheelarch!

@ franx: my clio was dropped only 35mm and i've a 185/55-15 tyre !!! the visual effect was a little crappy! :(
