will 16" 172 alloys fit - QUICK??

[james7471827906]

could anyone tell me quickly if a set of 172 alloys would fit straight on my 2003 plate 1.216v clio?? thanks

 

[-KarL-]

yup

 

[james7471827906]

thanks....they would require no spacers or anything?? do you think they'd look ok?? as my car isnot lowered or anything??

They would look good, but ideally you would want 10mm spacers to correct the difference in offset.

 

[geordieracer]

when you say 10mm spacers, do you mean 10mm each side (or 5mm each side) and do you need them front and rear?

Am asking cos i have some 172 alloys waiting to go on my car once it is lowered, and would like it to work first time.

cheers

5mm each side on the back and away u go perfect, 12 quid for the spacers from Halfords or something. no need for longer bolts either!!

^^^ correct as said above, but it will make it look like a 4x4 ;

until you lower it

god im a *****, any excuse

jamie

^^ Looks good I admit.

I agree Jamie, you are indeed a pic-*****, lol.

I am gonna lower mine about 40mm then fit the wheels. Have had them sitting for over a month now!
