wanting to lower my 182 but...

[lau2908]

hi all i want to lower my 182 but only by like 30mm , reason being only 30mm is because i have 17" oz superturismo alloys on and not sure if i lower it any more it would rub against the arches? also do any of you think at 30mm it might still rub, thanks again in advance for your answers

Get rid of the 17's pal, either 15's or 16's then get eibach sportlines. Leaves the car at a nice height and no rub. 17's don't look right on small cars.

not into getting rid of them at all tbh love em, just wondering how much to lower by

 

[ripp]

what tyres are you on? (dimensions)
195/40 r 17 for example are smaller in diameter than 205/45 r16 so I don't see why they should rub on the arches

get some coilovers lower as much as you want then, i'll have some for sale soon

 

[Cal182]

Poss. Coilovers for sale!? Hummmm, could be very interested, more details please!!

 

[lau2908]

I know yeah details pls :d

What offset are the Oz wheels as that will ultimately decide how low you can go?

lau i had my 1.2 lowered with them on 40mm on apex springs no rubbing at all but ofc wasnt a sport.

tyres are 205/40/17

Personally, if you like the wheels, I'd sell and get 15"s or 16"s in the same style.

I can't see any reason why you'd want 17"s on a clio. They look awful, add unnecessary weight and tyres cost a hell of a lot more.

 

[lau2908]

They look smart though an i luv them , and iv only just bought them lol

I will agree that the 17" SuperT's don't look gash like most 17's.

17's? Lowered? Book a chiropractor 1st.

How much do you want to spend?

Sportlines would be a nice littel drop and you'll keep some degree of comfort but essentially, whatever you do, you're a inch further from the ground before you even start.
