Tire sizes for alloys

kkelly77 · 2011-08-22 21:35:45

My OH is looking at some replacement alloys for her '02 Clio. Her car currently has after market 15" alloys on it (Wolfrace, I think). She has been offered genuine Renault 15" alloys at a very good price. Would the tires fit the new rims? (195/50 15). Thanks.

Yeah, as long as the stud pattern is for a clio. Tyres will fit either way.
Don't forget lock nuts

I know it could always happen, but seriously, when did you last hear of alloys being stolen? Besides maybe some BBS LMs or something.

I'd bet the odds of getting OEM alloys stolen off a 9 year old clio are pretty low...

I used to see the mankiest of standard alloys nicked off toyotas. They're also taking your tyres.
