to everyone with 16/17s on a 1.2

[patty]

has anyone found any problems which occur from havin 16/17s on a 1.2? any arch work or suspension problems etc need doin?? someone sed to me that - "knacker the cars handling performance and cause serious damage to the running gear, brakes, suspension and steering." True?

stuff will wear out quicker, but it wont bugger it up instantly

the car will definitely be slower, not sure on the handling

with 17s u will have to do some arch work, u shud get away with just removin the sh*t guards if u go for 16s

noone had any problems at all?

17s do make my clio slightly slower acceleration wise but seemingly on the new style clios (which i have) you can lower the car 40mm on 17s and not have to do any arch work at all!! Dont know how true that is??

Im away to try it so ill let you know how i get on.

Doesnt affect the handling for the worse either. You do get more tramlining but thats enevitable.
