17" alloys on a clipper......rubbing
Ive purchased a 92 (k) clipper and fitted a set of 17" alloys i had……They dont fit!
They rub on the suspension, the tyre size is 205,40,17 can you buy spacers so that these will fit or is it just a big no no???

Maybe you need 195 tyres and it might just fit?

they ruin the handling characteristics (like cabbys have really got any to speak of) but you know what i mean
every bump becomes a mountain, every corner becomes an under steer or skipping accross the tarmac drama, they tram line and for the cost of tyres etc they just dont give enough benefit to warrant having them
best rims on a mk1 are 15 inch with 195 50 tyres perfect for comfort, handling and everyday use, and you can lower it a fair whack if you want to without any agro or body work!! 16 inch will go on and be better for clearance but still not as good as the 15`s
Just my 2p worht, and i have been (and still am :wink: ) a wheel whore (as he buys yet another set of Borbets, 16 inch C`s this time though :mrgreen: )
