Will 17’s fit on to my 16v phase 2

[Rodg16v]

will they go straight on with no arch mods...ive heard they do ?

 

[Remedi]

Yes with the correct offset.

About ET 38 i think, even when lowered 35mm.

 

[cat171]

yes mate, they will as darth has said.
they dont fit on normal mk 1 clios though with out arch mods & eventhen it is a bit tight, obvously on a 16v & willy there is more arch space.

 

[Rodg16v]

any wheels u could recommend me ? was also considering lowering it a bit but they sit pretty low anyway...what do u think ?

 

[Remedi]

My 17s look pretty good, they are for sale too

 

[cat171]

in the media section there are loads of valvers mate, personally i like the standard 5 spoke alloys.

It really does depent what your after, ie 5 spokes or multi spokes, also the colour of them too (silver or anthracite, or black maybe)

 

[Rodg16v]

If i was to fit 17s could i lower say 35mm with just lowered uprated springs ?

thanks

 

[Subway]

Hey they will fit, will look abit 4x4 though.

A little saying i made up...

"17s for show, 16s for a pro"

Cheers, Adam

[Rodg16v]

mmm 16s, u think ?

 

[Subway]

I would say 16" better overall for your car. 17 is just for show.

Up to you, Are you a driver?

Adam

 

[Rodg16v]

ive heard17s hinder performance adam so i get what u mean. seems u can get 17s cheaper than 16"s though

 

[Subway]

17s cheaper then 16s? you sure about that bud?

If you read that some where, they must have different tires on.

There is no chance a 17" wheel set, will be cheaper then a 16" wheel set.

If you want better road holding and quicker off the line, 16" will be best for your car. Either get 195/45 or 40. Not sure which is better.

[Final Maxim]

not many wheels available in 16s compared to 15s n 17s. get 15s n slam it

 

[Subway]

Dean - That is one "off the hook" valver!

 

[Remedi]

^^Damn right.

The lowest valver on 17s ever!

 

[Mr Blue]

sweet valver mate. id go for 17s

 

[AndyV_16V]

My 16V slammed on 17" (about 50-60mm all round on coilovers)

No body mods needed at all!....just take out ur plastic liners inside the arch.

[Mr Blue]

that looks proper mate,

If you dont me askin where did you get the back brake disks from im just overhauling mine & puttin motor bike carbs on for something different....

 

[dannyboy]

mines on 17s with a 60MM drop all round, minimal scrubbing at the front, and i cant get full lock! but hey, its a small price to pay for looking good.

 

[JayR]

Mines down 60mm (i rekon slightly more at the back) and its fine, slight rubbin with 2 in the back but thats nout harsh anyway, it just seems to catch the plastic mudguards up in the arch!!!

Id stick a pic up of the rear wheel to show but for some reason the uploader aint working!!!

 

[JAMESSRICH]

just put these on - et38 - about to drop between 30 and 60mm -- like AndyV_16V said will need to remove the rear arch liners!
