5 GT Turbo Phase 2 wheels

[Brian B]

Hi - I'm new to 5 ownership having just bought my first turbo. Question is about wheels - I've seen some that are for the clio mk1 they are 7x15 4x100 68.1 bore - but then there are two options for offset... 28 & 37. Does anybody know if these will fit my 5 without any work - it has been lowered a bit (unsure how much as I didn't do it - not sat on the floor though!) and if they do - what offset do I need?? Any help and advice much appreciated - thanks

I wouldnt go as low as a 28offset. 37 is ok.

The center bore is 60.1 though

 

[Brian B]

OK - so will they fit without rubbing at all - and is the bore size a problem?? Sorry for the ignorance!!

 

[andybond]

Yes. It's the whole in the middle. It's too big.

Be like chucking a rat up a street.

 

[Brian B]

Ah - so they a no go - does the clio require a larger hole in the middle then?

I believe that a pair of these would be what you've need to fit the 68's to a 60mm wheel hub..

Exactly what you need. Spigot rings.

That's cracking - thanks for that. Gonna get the wheels ordered and ready for spring!!!! I'll upload a couple of photos when they're on!!

Thanks again

I use spigot rings on the clio, they will do you fine.

Offsets, the bigger the positive number the further in the arch the inner rim of the wheel will sit (I think) so the 28's will sit further in the arch. If they do foul you can space them out with a spacer. Remember any more than about 3mm on a spacer really needs longer wheel bolts though.

Good site below for checking the effect of different offsets
