Whats the max size wheel on a std mk3 clio?

And does anyone know the ET I should look for so that they fit 'properly'. Standard wheels are 16's so I think that 17's with lo-profiles shouldn't be a problem, just wondering about 18's.

ive got 17s on mine and its fine...make sure you invest in some new springs or coilies cos theyll make it look 4x4!

mk3's are huge i bet 20's would be not to much trouble.

of course if it was mine it would be getting 15's.......

Any idea on the ET?

If you've replaced your wheels, can you look at the ones you've taken off.

not sure about ET but the ones ive got on (OZ SuperT's WRC) come in either et25 or et48.

35-45 is fine iirc. My winter wheels are 36 and my summer ones 45. No rubbing or anything.

edit: that's on a mk2 (didn't read the title properly).

ET25?

Is that on a MK3 (the latest one)?

Do you run any spacers?

Thanks,

I'm not trying to 'do' anything just it is one of those things that if you don't check you can end up with some really strange ET's and then have to get spacer or have the wheels rub on the inner wings.

Good to know that 17's fit no problem. I've seen one on here with 18's too. But you are right about them needing lowering!

fire some new wheels on! you know you want to!
if yours is the turbo with the kit like the one im thinking about then lower it and leave it..or change the wheels depending what colour it is. the kit finishes it off imo
