Will 18's fit

[Graeme0607]

As above, will 18's fit an 03 clio 1.2 without any arch work?

If not rough ££ of arch work

 

[doddy]

yea id say they would fit! probly have to take arch liners out.

And any speed you had before...would be gone lol

 

[V1NNY]

its questionable if they would or wouldnt, i have seen a cup with 18's on here

 

[Gareth]

IIRC the correct answer is yes, but without any lowering, if you go lower then you need arch work

 

[hydeyho]

R-tec fitted 19's to a clio (not their v6) which needed no arch work. Some people say that you can get away with 40mm on 18s but I'm guessing at least the arch liners need to come out.

 

[Christopher]

yes. they will fit with a bit of trimming and no liners.

...but dear god, don't.

 

[ant]

it would look awfull.

big wheels + small cars = shiteness.

 

[M1TCH]

look forward to seeing your 4x4

 

[Shaun16v]

If they're the correct offset then they will fit with no problems, my girlf used to have 18's on her old clio which was lowered 35mm, didn't need any arch work and there was no rubbing, not even with the arch liners

 

[The Big Yin]

19's seems possible Hilly had them on his , theres also another guy with them on bot lowered iirc

 

[Tyson-182]

Yes its possible, but don't do it!!!!! i had 17's on my old 1.2, and it was shockingly slow off the line...big stupid heavy wheels are a big no!

[Limca]

yea they will fit. i was due to have 18"s then i decided to not, as i thought smaller wheels, the lower i can drop my car

 

[Middo]

yes. they will fit with a bit of trimming and no liners.

...but dear god, don't.

agreed it'd look cack, and drain any performance you ever had

 

[blink172]

Are you a Gansta?
Do you live in Inglewood?
Is your can an Escalade?
Do you need to plough/traverse fields?

If the answer is no to any of the 4 questions above, the wheels are not the products you are looking for.

 

[Ali]

I saw a 172 on 18's bit big...Looked nice tho. 17's look the business.

 

[_Kenny_]

Can't beat 15s! lol

 

[David]

wouldn't go bigger than 17s like this...

 

[polarbert]

i can't see why you would want to put 18 inch wheels on a clio, save the money and put it towards something better

 

[blink172]

Are you putting a kit on it? 18's might look alright but it will look ridiculous standard.

 

[mat-nos]

19" wheels fit no probs without lowering
18"wheels fit fine upto -40 mm
all providing they are the correct offset but also depends on which tyres you go for and the size of them ie you would need a 215 35 18/19!!

they also do a 195 40 17 now so you can go even lower on 17's!!

 

[CDMullins]

DO IT!

Wish i would have gone for 18's but they were so expensve last year!!!

205-40-17 is more common i believe.

 

[Graeme0607]

Its purely for aesthetic purposes!

Lets face it its a 1.2 it cant get slower, i have nothing to loose!

 

[Graeme0607]

Also how do i find out what the correct offset is for my car, 03 1.2 16v clio expression.

Any help

 

[CDMullins]

100x35 iirc

well, if you want a rollerskate then go ahead.

 

[Ali]

I had 17's and the handlin was considerably beta than my 172....

 

[Ed_182]

I've done -35 at the front -25 at the back on my old '02 clio. All it needed was the arches pulled out a bit at the back and the inner liner removed from the front.

I know its not a great example phot but you get the idea

 

[The Big Yin]

I thought the clio was 4 x 100 with an et of 37

 

[kiza1986]

I thought the clio was 4 x 100 with an et of 37

I thought this aswell but i also remember being told the off set could be anyhting from 35 - 45 with the best being around 37 for lowering...

[Ryan lezlie]

yes they will but make sure ypu allgin the camber properly coz i had 182 on my old 1.2 it looked nice they fit with no problem my mate had 18s on his 172 looked the businnes trust me also he said the car felt stronger through the corners? trust go for it if want to dont lisen to any1 on here?your car will stand out much better if you get the right whels and lower you need to lower it trust?

 

[kpowell911]

cut all the arches out and slam it on 18s. I'm going to try lowering 100mm on 19s, With thehelp of wide arches and Rayvern Hydraulics

 

[Martin_172]

mine rubs the arch liners when you throw it into a corner -60mm on 15s so with any lowering at all on 18s id say arch liners must go!
