Fitting 17" alloys

DYLF · 2011-01-27 13:32:55

just wondering if anyone can give me some advice.. i'n want to fit some alloys to my 09 clio.. it came with the standard 15" steel wheels. just wondering would there be any problems fitting larger wheels possibly 16" or 17"? will this throw off the speedo? and would there be any clearance issues? thanks in advance

The Clio Renaultsport 200 (in the UK) runs on 17s with a 45 profile tyre, so you could fit 16s with a 50 profile.

The lower the profile, the more expensive the tyres get, the more prone to wheel buckling and tyre blowouts on our crappy roads and the worse the ride gets.
