Wheel spacers

[OLLZIE]

im wanting to eventually get some cup wheels for my clio. The cups tracking is wider then a standard clio. does anyone know where i can get some wheel spacers from? I live in north london

Just about any auto shop should be able to get some in, i need some for mine as ive got cup wheels.

spacers are easy to find, but what about bolts do they have to be longer, surely if the spacer is 10mm wider.

does anyone know if R-tec do them?

 

[BenR]

if your getting cup wheels then you wont need spacers as the ET is already 10 less so youll get your 20mm gain in track without spacers.

BenR what about the 16" turinis that K-tec do?

 

[BenR]

So long as you specify the correct offset used ont eh cups (38) then you wont need spacers.

BenR what if im getting a 172 bodykit. The arches are wider on a 172 then a dynamique. would i still not need them?

 

[BenR]

that totally depends how far you want to move them out then doesnt it.

And yes the arches are flared.

i want them as far out as a 172 cup. Do you know by how much im going to need? also how much am i looking at + fitting for this?

I dont have the answer off the top of my head, but you can check yourself.

Get the 172 cup track, and your track, minus yours from the 172 cup track and yo have your difference.

Now the offset on the cup wheels is 38 as opposed to 48 on the 172. SO thats an extra 20mm simply from offset. Compare your offset to that of the cup and you should be able to work out the difference needed if the cup offset isnt enough.

Word of warning though, simply spacing the wheels out will affect steering geometry and make your car handle strange and poorly.

Does anyone know the offset to a 1.6 16v dynamique
