    You're probably best looking at the for sale section on Clio197.net or eBay.
     
  3. thanks Tim, having looked into it there is not the difference in price between 17 and 18 i thought there was so may as well stick with the 18s i guess.
    I am up for buying some 18s if anyone has a spare set as ideally i liike to have two sets of spare wheels
     
  4. 17s scrub like mad mate. Even at standard height.

  5. what? how can they scrub when they are smaller than the standard 18's, or am i missing something?
     
  6. I'll rephrase that ha ha. Basically as the car is technically lower to the ground as the distance from the hub to the bottom of the alloy is reduced I had problems even getting on and off my fairly flat drive on 17s and that was at standard ride height.

  7. Not if you'd get an appropriate tyre size (unless not available?), surely?

  8. i was running 17 laguna alloys with ns2r 225 40 17 alongside bc coilovers which weren't far as the bottom and never had an issue with scrubbing or catching ?
     
  9. I run 18inch on the Clio197, on road, fine, on track, they rub.
     
  10. decided will definately stick with the 18 inch wheels, have a spare set anyway which is handy. they are the red ones...can anyone let me know what they are called as i believe each wheel type has a name associated with them.....will take a pic in a mo
     
  11. Are these speedline turinis? [​IMG]
