will 17’s fit

[dyna16v]

Ull ave 2 bear with me cos this is the first time I have been on ere. Ive just got a clio 16v on a 03 reg (wot is this reffered to on this site? mk etc) I want to fit some 17 inch wheels but will I need to cut the arches or anything or will they bolt straight on without rubbing or catching. I see loads with 17" rims so i presume theyll b ok.

chris your car looks mint m8. So you dropped her 60mm and no scrubs at all? Full lock ok? Im tempted!

 

[Rorrie]

mate thats nice! Is that platinum silver? How much was the colour coding?

 

[ClioJohn]

not seen your clio before chris, quite tasty.

I always hated the silver clios, but when they are modded they come up mint!

Quite impressed, i think you should get your 16v badge and mirror base plate colour coded also.

Rorrie, colour coding ranges from 200-250!

oh how dark are your tints, mine are 20% all round!

WHO DID THE WORK ON IT CHRIS??? MUST BE A VERY SKILLED PERSON!!!!

 

[ClioJohn]

who ever fitted those springs must have been drunk jk!

 

[Chris]

I HAVE TO THANK FRED FOR ALL THE HELP AND WORK HE HAS DONE TO MY CAR!!! CHEERS MATE!

The colour coding was £200 done by a mate, and if you near cov imsure he wud sort you a good price! Car is Platinum sliver

The car is dropped 60mm on pi springs (Freds old ones!) and got 17" x 7" OZ Super Ts on wearing falken rubber! No rubbing on full lock!

The tints i did myself, got the limo on the rear sides and dark on the front. Have not got a clue what the % dark they are!?!!?!?

Thanks people for your comments!

 

[ClioJohn]

[ClioJohn]

dark tint about 20%

medium tint 35%

 

[Chris]

Yeah me and bud from work did the tints over the weekend, just the rear to do now!!!
