Wheel spacers

[ollie82]

I'v got a clio 1.4 Dynamique and was wondering if there is anywhere I can get hold of some spacers just to bring the wheels out a little to give it a better stance.

If so, does anyone know round about how much these are?

Any help much appreciated
Cheers

IMO its a bad idea, they effect the handling and will wear things out faster.

Depends how big you are going, 3-5mm wont be an issue at all. Porsche Sell them for 911s and boxsters and the handling and performance is considerably better than any clio.

 

[ollie82]

Is there anywhere that sels them for the clio?

likes of halfords/demon tweeks/r-tec etc or some of the bigger alloy wheel suppliers listed in magazines.

i had 10mm on mine and it f**ked it rite up, 2-3 should be ok,

Me again, can I just ask how they knackered you car up? Getting worried now

as said above if your getting s**t spacers (sheets of metal) they ruin the handling and judder under braking etc,if you get hubcentric one's then they should be ok providing you dont go silly.Hubcentric are quite expensive though,i think there over £100

Right I get ya, Cheers for the help.

from previous threads on this subject you shouldnt go more than 5mm on the front and nothing on the back on mk2's

a little spacer should be fine, something big is not recommended

I have a MR2 o5 plate 1.2 clio and wanna stick 16 inchw wheels on it. how low can i go beafore i have 2 do arch work and is it advisable to have wheels spacers

cheers

get the right offset wheels and you wont need spacers to fit the wheels.

You could probably drop it almost to the floor on 16's without archwork!

100mm on 17's works fine. If you're going REALLY low, then its just the front arches you've got to worry about cracking.

it wears wheel bearings.
