tyre and wheel help

[Camilo]

Hi,

I need some help finding out what the offset is on my Clio. Ive got a 1.4 Sport Maxim. Does anyone know what it is on these? 35 or 40??

Im just about to order some 17"/7.5 TSW Fusions on 195/45 17s.

Can anyone recomend a decent lowering kit as well. I was hoping for about a 35-40mm drop. I have seen the Blilstein streetline suspension kit and it looks promising but just wondered what people thought of it.

What do ya think?

n e one????

for suspension ull want coilovers look on k-tec

thos profiles seem a bit high for 17s i thought they were usually 35!

i think the offset so around 35!

I thought they seemed a bit high as well, but there the figures I got from the TSW website!! Ur probably right, bloody T S W****rs

Cheers,

whats the original tyre profile on the 1.4 sport? 165/65 14"?

 

[Camilo]

Yes, think it is. F*** it - I dont know!

36 as standard

Cheers Chris_H.

So is that standard for all 1.4s including RTs and all the other pre 98s?

Hang on. So if its 36, does this mean that the sizes given to me from TSW wont fit. They said that there were two sizes:

7.5 x 17s offset 35 - on 195/45/17 or,

7.5 x 17s offset 40 - on 195/45/17. R they just talking rubbish or can I still get these rims?

 

[Essex_Lad]

they will fit definatley as long as the PCD is 100mm!

the offset if wrong will give u a bit of rubbin but 35 offdet instead of 36 wont do nething!

Nice.

Cheers 4 the help!
