wheels

hiya, how much do you want for the wheels? i can collect and want them but havent got 16" wheels to swap. i have original phase2 wheels with gd tyres tho if any help>
Cheers Andy
 
Try before you buy lads - Ive only ever known one set of 17x8's on a 21 and they crunched into to rear arche everytime he went over a slight bump :x
 
i wasnt 100 percent sure lee thats why i asked,i think 7" is the widest without having the arches done?
 
and lee i just noticed your gender on the left of the screen lol,last time i meet you alone at night on the m25 not that your not a good looking lass :roll:
 
I've had the arches rolled on the rear and have some really strange suspension setup from prima from bout 10 yaers ago and it's really stiff. I've never had i scrap but they might do without the arches being rolled. They are hudge with 215 40 17 tyres and the tyres are only just on the wheel. look good but not practical.
need another set of wheels for it as it's the only set i have. if anyones interested i'll stick a pic up tommorrow night as it's at my garage awaiting parts to turn up
 
U should see me on a Saturday night in my glittery dress and pink stilettos lol

Wagclio - didnt mean to put a stop to ur sale, just sharing my knowledge mate :wink:
 
7.5 fits but it is tight with no mods so with the arches rolled i think u'll get away with 8" looks like a good reson to go for a arch conversion lol
 
Na no offence taken mate i'm a mechanic my self forgot that my arches had been done and thtas the only reason they don't rub.
I just want some smaller wheels i work out in the middle of no where and roads are terrible so want something a little less harsh specialy with the koni's that are as hard as their go and now seized so can't adjust them.
I love these 21 t i've had more fun then my clio in it and only drove it 3 times
1- snaped engine mount
2- Blow the turbo
3- Missed and blow the dizzy cap due to leaking oil

But i love it so 80's and so fun
 
Right just brought a set of 16s so if anyone wants to buy my imola's let me know. Offers
 
17x8 imolas

they do fit i put them on it after the respray they cost £1100 with tyres in 1996,wheel spacers were required and a bit of trimming on the rear arches and bumper plus a careful pump out with a bottle jack. are they still for sale as ive got another 21turbo that i want to look like f 67 dgk. or would you sell the whole car
 
Any idea what the offset of those 17's is and what size spacers were fitted?

Were spacers needed on the front as well?

I'm not fussed about the rear i dont plan to have wheels that size on the back.
