17 inch alloys

[fee]

hi,do 17 inch alloys go straight on a clio 172 without having to roll arches?? :S

They went straight on my 1.2 (2001) even with a 60mm drop. Arches are standard.

now of 2 ppl with 17s who haven't had to roll the arches . but be careful of overloading

i'd be more worried about the speed/handling losses.

 

[patty]

yup.... but handling / speed will be compromised as mentioned above...

Why Put 17's on your 172..... You sacrificing handling and speed for the sake of an inch! Stick with 16's and get some super lightweight wheels, would be wiser choice mate. However, yes you can fit them with no scrubbing, but you cant have a heavy rear-end otherwise you'll get horrible noises.

Only if you put cheap tyres on them, and get heavy rims....

I have a set of buddyclub P1's with Dunlop Sport Maxx tyres and it handles really well.

probably due to how slow its going

Yeh sod the 17"s. Look gash too. Unless you are going to be REALLY original and get Turinis?!?!?
