I need poke!!

[Kamarley]

Here are a few pics of my car at the moment, I'm looking to get more poke so I'm getting closer to hella flush and ideas on what spacers ill need to reach this??

In the future I'm talking about doing 60-80mm drop I'm on 40 atm but ill need lower profile tires first? Any ideas would be much appreciated thanks.

Less offset?

 

[Kamarley]

Come again??

 

[h701micra]

An 8mm spacer should see you right

 

[karlj]

If you want the wheels tight to the inner arch you'll need

7" fronts with an offset of 20(ish)
7" rears with an offset of 10(ish)

Any lower and you'll be getting poke

 

[Kamarley]

So without spacers if I drop it on 60mm springs I get more poke???

 

[Kamarley]

And can someone explain the offset rule

 

[karlj]

Look it up on Wikipedia it'll be quicker than me writing it up, but basically offset/et is how far the mounting face is from the centre line of the wheel.

0et the face is in the middle

-10et the face is closer to the inside edge

+10et the face is closer to the outside edge

 

[Kamarley]

Ok cool so if I just look up the offset of the clio RSI alloys ill let you guys know then we can figure out what I need for hella flushness....?

 

[karlj]

Iirc the rsi's are 35 so you'll want 15mm and 20mm spacers

 

[skymera]

Clio wheels on spacers still ain't "Hellaflush"

 

[Kamarley]

15 front 20 back?

 

[Kamarley]

Clio wheels on spacers still ain't "Hellaflush"

They are becoming a rare set of wheels ill make them hellaflush

 

[karlj]

I'm only guessing mind, you're best doing the measurements yourself.

 

[markbognor]

How wide are these clio wheels you are talking about - are you even going to be able to get any meaningful stretch on them to enable poke and a ride height that doesn't have (too much) arch gap?

 

[karlj]

They're 6" Mark, doubt he'll ever get meaningful stretch

 

[Rangerallen]

My off set is 10 on 7s

 

[Kamarley]

If I can't get stretch on the RSI ill get banded steels that's the plan anyway I just wanted alloys for the meantime

 

[markbognor]

155/55's could be the answer....

Thinking back I think its this size that Mckenzie had on the G# when it was wearing the Mk3's.

[Rangerallen]

Im gunna try 135/70 on my 13x7s

 

[Kamarley]

I've just done 130 quid on 3 new tires few months back better start doing some wheel spins

It was indeed, I was talking to the guy who owned it after him before the Mk3's were sold on. They were 6.5J with 155/55's, looked quite good

 

[SK193]

My wheels atm are 7J et20 but I think i'm going to space them to around et10 or 15 on the front, and et0 or -5 on the back

 

[Kamarley]

I think the RSI's are 6J??

 

[--alpina--]

Those clio alloys, are they 14"

[r-reg-sr]

look like 12'ves ?

Yeah 14's bud
