[NathJ]

nice one mate!
what you thing i should go for 10mm or 15mm?

 

[ChrisC19]

id go for 15s as they are hubcentrics.

where are you guys getting locking wheel bolts from?

 

[Šįk]

I'm thinking of getting a set of 10mm (front) and a set of 5mm (rear) will I need extended bolts for these or would my standard ones be enough?

Cheers.

15 - I have 25mm on mine.

You'll get away with the 5mm ones with standard bolts, but need longer ones/hubcentric spacers for 10mm.

 

[Šįk]

Don't worry, hubcentric all the way! And thanks m8, might just but 5mm ones all round tbh, have the "cup " track width LOL.

 

[ChrisC19]

you got locking wheel bolts ?

 

[Nick_P]

On the site listed above, arent the only hubcentric ones 25mm?

 

[ChrisC19]

type 10 and 11 are hubcentrics afaik

 

[Nick_P]

Yeah exactly, i want 15mm hubcentric..

 

[jesus]

I'm sure you can get 15mm ones, if not it's for the same reason nobody makes 10mm hubcentric spacers - there isn't enough room on the spacer.

 

[Nick_P]

I see, eibach have 15,16 etc etc all hubcentric, and twice the price....

This might sould stupid, but are these safe.
I have a mk2 1.2 with 172 wheels and they look too far into the arches.
Are these the thing i need?
And which would you guys recomend?

Cheers

Yes mate, you need spacers. Make sure you get ones that bolt to the hub, aka. 'hubcentric'

Try here and look for the 'type 10' ones: http://www.lkperformancestyling.co.uk/catalogue/deltamicswheelspacers.html

 

[DannyR]

Can't stress enough to get hubcentrics!

 

[JCC]

That's pish, they only do 25mm in type 10s

 

[ChrisC19]

type 11 are hubcentric aswell.

 

[drumdom1]

Cheers guys.
thats great ,
Ill order some now

 

[Fred@BTM]

FK 13mm hubcentric are good

 

[drumdom1]

So would you say that 20mm is too much?

 

[drumdom1]

are these any good for the 172 wheels on a 1.2?
or is the bore wrong.
is the clio 60.2?

Thinking about getting 3mm, im assuming they will be ok still on standard bolts yeh?

Also found these for those wanting hub centric, any good?

I have 25mm hubcentric on mine!

3mm will work with standard bolts, anything above 5mm and you'll need extended ones.

 

[Ben10]

any pics of different sizes? are these really as easy to fit as taking the wheel off, putting the spacer behind the wheel and bolting it back on with the supplied extended bolts?

You'll want the ones that bolt to the hub really, so you take the wheel off, bolt them to the hub and then bolt the wheel back onto the spacer.

 

[Ben10]

welll yeah... just making sure theres nothing else to it than that. and are they the hubcentric ones that are simple?

may get some... just no idea what size really!

 

[jesus]

Yeah. Make sure that, if you do get some, they state that they bolt to the hub. I'd only advise getting them if there's a really noticable gap that needs filling in the arches.

 

[Ben10]

id just like to give it a wider stance so it fills the arches a bit more. got some yourself? pics?

 

[Ben10]

would they improve handling or grip at all?

 

[Andyman]

Hubcentric spaces start from over 5mm. - 5mm or under are non hubcentric. (not thick enough to need to be hubcentric)

IMO best offset for a Clio is Cup offsets of et38.

Not sure about the other Clio's but on a ph1 172 running stock rims, (et43) 5mm spacer is perfect and brings it up to Cup spec.

Improved handling in corners due to a bigger (wider) footprint.

 

[Ben10]

type 11 are definately hubcentric?

 

[jesus]

would they improve handling or grip at all?

Not really, I think they're more for looks on cars like Clios.

I have pics but no 'before' shots, they do make a hell of a difference though!

 

[Ben10]

what size did you get and how much did you pay? pics would be good ta. thinking of getting them when i get paid on friday

 

[jesus]

I got 25mm 'Type 10' ones from this website, about £45 iirc!

From ph1 to Cup belive me theres a massive difference lol Far less understeer and more in corner grip IMO

Ahh right! Tbh I don't know why I wrote that, I could feel that the tracking was wider as soon as I fitted them and drove it, not too much difference but I could tell it was there

 

[Ben10]

hmm i dont know if id need 25mm. doesnt it look a bit TOO much? what model is your clio?
i take it you bought 4 altogether? or did you just buy a pair?
pics would be great jamie

 

[jesus]

Not too much on mine mate, it's just right. I have a Clio 1.2, just got the two for the fronts and left the rears as they are;

'Before' was shocking tbh!

 

[MAXIBOY]

what offset are those wheels...
