Wheel Fitment Help

[Makaveli160]

Am i right in thinking the clio has an offset of ET68?

Would a set of wheels with an ET35 offset be far to off?

I noticed someone has fitted some Cades alloys that are an ET45 and yeah the portrude a little but not crazy?

Only problem is there 18" although would prefer 17" as im on the H&R -40mm springs so im definately thinking with an ET35 offset and lowering on 18s i think there will be arch rubbing??

Thanks

Will sit 33mm further out, and on 18's and lowered I don't think it would work

I would imagine your going to struggle with ET35 on 18" to be honest, 33mm is quite a pit of poke.

I wouldn't go anything over 20mm (at a PUSH 25mm) with lowering springs and larger wheels.

Thought as much.

Thanks.

I wonder if i could get away with an ET35 on a 17" rim?

As 33mm doesnt seem that much when u consider how far inwards the standard wheels sit in the arches.

Maybe a 40 profile tyre or even 205 rather than 215 might work.

ET45 on a 7.5J rim is really as far as you want to go, beyond that whatever tyre you use the arch will likely chew into the tyre over bumps or hard cornering.

See thats the problem they would be an 8j aswell.

Well thats my plan out the window then.

ET55 on an 8J then, even still mine hit the arch though using 225 section tyres.
