wheel sizes

[Greiggsy]

Hi, got a chance at 15" FOX evo 3 alloys and there 4x100 but there ET42. Was wondering if they would fit??
btw my cars a mk2 phase 1, t reg 1.2 RN if that helps?

Cheers G.

 

[Greiggsy]

please can somebody tell me if there ok to fit??

persoanally mate i would've thought the offset is such that it will make the wheels sit too far in as iirc the correct offset for clios is between 35-40mm offset, you may find the scrub inside the arch but not at the lip more likely to be inside the arch closest to the engine if they makes sense on full lock.

you could always buy some spacers though to push the wheels out

hope that helps

 

[Greiggsy]

so if i get 5mm spacers it should be ok? also with the spacers will i need longer bolts?
cheers for the reply.

Hi mate

I have got the same car as you, my wheels are the same 15'' 4x100 ET42

Be reet

 

[Greiggsy]

so did u need spacers for the car then? do u notice any problems with it on full lock or any other time?

 

[Greiggsy]

Anyone else want to give me some more advice on it,
eg what size spacers i need etc.
cheers

 

[Millsy]

well if he says there ok go for it mate

 

[Greiggsy]

think i will,but going to get spacers to play it safe though.

 

[Mett]

Trust me mate 4x100 ET 35-42 you will be fine.

Spacers suck, and will make your insurance go up.

Are the tyres right?

 

[Greiggsy]

Mett:- so you dont have any problems with with anything rubbing?also is your car lowered?

 

[Mett]

Nothing rubs. I have had the wheels for like 8 months must have covered 8,000 miles and all is good, I even have 195/50/15 when really it should be 195/45/15. I havent got round to it being lowered yet, i just have the wheels at the moment. It defo needs to be slammed, what colour is yours?

 

[Greiggsy]

aye think the tyres on them are 195/50/15 aswell. its a red colour want to get it lowered also maybe 35mm and colour coded.what colour is your car?

 

[Mett]

Mine is silver

How much did you pic the evos up for then? Make sure you get locking wheels nuts dude. They will look nice, i think multi spokes look best on clios. I would like mine coulour coded but im trying not to mod it to much, i dont really wanna spend to much because i am saving up for something fast. I had actully bought 172 full interior for £240 on ebay but i decided it wasnt best to start spending loads of money.

 

[Greiggsy]

got the wheels for £250 with new tyres. yeh know what you mean,want something with a bit more go, but mine will do for a while longer. You got anyother pics?wouldnt let me look at them on myspace.
