Please can everyone post pictures of their lowered clios (preferably 40mm and black) with 16 inch wheels on. my car failed the MOT with 17s so i may need to swap!

thanks a lot everyone.

i love your car carbon, you got any closer pictures... do you think i should do it, or find some steelies and swap em on and off for the MOT?

why did it fail on 17's?? that doesnt make sense. it can fail due to needing new tyres, but not because the wheels are too big! i know someone with an older shape civic that is runnning 20" alloy wheels! that went through mot fine and ,standard was 13/14" steelies

my handling was mint mate, with 16's on but if my cars wrote off i am going 17's lowered -60mm on full kit lol

How bad was it rubbing on full lock? Never heard that before? Where did you take it for its MOT?

was at the official garage mate, SMC one in Woking, Surrey. I think it only touched on full lock, it is lowered as well, maybe that had an effect.

Does anyone reccomend borrowing some wheels off someone and using them for it, or should I swap?

:(

was also told that the wheels are too heavy for the power steering motor.... thought people with 17s might want to know.

Vinny whats the difference between the 16 and 17s ride wise ?

I had problems with mine rubbing but it was just the liner needed a bit of manipulation might be an idea to see where it rubs and get a BIG hammer to it
