roblee8g Posted 27, December 2018 Report Share Posted 27, December 2018 Not too big. Great looks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
japarn Posted 27, December 2018 Report Share Posted 27, December 2018 Great wheels! Now you just need to lower the suspension to match... Then get new dampers to match the springs... Then get a roll centre adjustment kit... Then change the final drive ratio to adjust the gearing... Well that’s how I think! p.s. I’m full of it! I’ve got so many ideas for my car and haven’t done one! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamstrung Posted 27, December 2018 Report Share Posted 27, December 2018 They look good. I had 17s on my Clio 172 too, back in the day. Btw, if you do get Koni Yellows and Eibach springs per above (the typical Clio aftermarket setup), you will find there's slight rubbing at full lock in one direction, right hand turns from memory...

Lumberjack Posted 27, December 2018 Report Share Posted 27, December 2018 (edited) Too big IMO. I wouldn't go bigger than 16 inch on a ph1/ph2. Individual taste though, if you love the wheels keep them. Edited 27, December 2018 by Lumberjack 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamR Posted 30, December 2018 Report Share Posted 30, December 2018 Yeah, 17" wheels are too big for a Clio 2. But if you like them, that's what's important. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarrres Posted 12, January 2019 Author Report Share Posted 12, January 2019 Thanks for your replys. After having these wheels for a few months now I think they affect performance. As such I think performance is the most important thing with a 172/182, so I'm going to buy 16" lightweight forged wheels, I like the look of SSR type C wheels because they look solid and I like the ease of cleaning. Odly these don't affect the speedo as I've measured the speed on a gps (phone and tom-tom). Not planing on lowering the car, I've had lowered cars before (starlet GT, Paseo, Falcon GT) and there too harsh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaughan Posted 13, January 2019 Report Share Posted 13, January 2019 Buy the 172 stock alloys that @rob 240 has for sale. The 15 inch rims are strong, and lighter than the stock 16s. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are affecting the speedo, but they are correcting the error in the stock system. IME the 172 with stock wheels and tyres the speedo should be out by about 5 km/h at 60 (that is, need to sit the needle on about 65 indicated to do 60 km/h on the ground) about 10 km/h at 100. If you have cruise control fitted the error on the digital read-out is only about 2 and 4 km/h (set 82 to do 80 on the ground, set 104 to do 100 on the ground) so there is about 2 km/h to 4 km/h error in the speedo circuitry, and another 3 to 6 km/h in the analog meter. Ground speed is checked with Harry's Lap Timer on an iPhone. I've had two 172s (one with ESP) and the error has been identical in both.
