No matey, just in the Gallery.

Oh yes you do! OZ Super Tourismos suit most cars :cool: Personally I think that 17" ones are big enough.

18S will ruin the performance and handling mate kepp them they look nice.

surely steves are 18s 99% defo
 


Can someone confirm this please? i dont want to maybe get em and they dont look the same!

They look like 18s but it could be the angle of the photo??
 


Im fairly sure that there is a write up on the blue clio, and it says that they are 18s, they look huge compared to my 17s. They really fill the arches!
 


Where is the right up on the clio then>? ive looked on the Gallery where i got the picture and it doesnt say. All the other Clios state the size of the wheels but this guy has kept it quiet!. I just dont want to buy 17s and find that they dont look as nice. It could be that they are 17s but because there is no gap in the arches it makes them look bigger???

If anyone can give me a def answer i would be most grateful!!!
 


hi this steve, and yes it is my clio...i have dropped the car down on koni suspension 50mm ... thats why the 17" wheels look so big...but did have to get the arches rolled (rear) as they caught. what you want to do is get a 45mm offset wheel with a 7j rim..sits under there nicely...i also can have 4 people up in the car and no rubbing...you dont want to stick 18s on there cos it ruins the handling and the performance..the wheels are tsw pace.

cheers

steve
 


Thanks for that Steve, you have it looking v nice matey.. One of the nicest ive seen by far. Its just right... not too much just enough done to it. Well done.

45 mm offset? a clio 172 has a et37, wouldnt that catch off the Caliper?

So you reckon go for the 17s, do they go straight on?

How much were the Konis?
 


Everyone has everything so how can you say that?!!!

Im from Newcastle and no-one has them wheels on a clio!!! So your talking cack!!! but thanks for the advice, its appreciated!. I am sooo indecisive when it comes to wheels cause i have made so many mistakes buying wheels, im wheel blind you might like to say!!
 


if you click onto my website youll see my latest pics...the wheels are a 42mm offset, sorry mate put 45mm by mistake, its close to the calliper but there is no problems..the problem is if you get a 7.5 wheel with a 40mm offset it rubs like f**k on the back arches..its not nice as in one of my pics youll see i had tsw reflexs on with a 7.5j with a 40mm offset and it rubbed like f**k..so i sold them wheels to a guy that had a williams, they went straight on his no probs as the arches are more flared

konis cost about £600 with the springs all posted..drops it down 50mm..rear wheels just sit under the arch nicely..its so hard to choose wheels for cars..give me a shout and ill help you choose. them tsw pace will look sh*t hot on your silver car..especially when you drop it a bit more..tyres go for either yokohama 590s or the falcons, they havent got any rim protector on there so tyre fits under arch better....give us a shout, more than willing to help
