15x8 minilight type wheels look awesome with the correct offset.

You would need to get them with a 4x100 PCD and 60.1 centre bore

If you have a valver you would have to down size to Rsi brakes using the short carriers

If im going to use it for road rallies just thought these wheels would be cheaper to replace if one gets damaged, which they always do at some point

Merlin,Whilst "Minilites" look awesome ~~ not seen them on a Clio before,I must admit the picture in this thread,they look the dogs gonads :lol: :lol:

My advice is to buy a set or two of normal 15" turbines or whatever for your road rallies,I will bet you could a set :roll: :roll: for the price of a pair of Minilites,and at 8" wide,I would expect you could only get a very low profile tyre.Although not very regularly checked on road rallies,Article "K",22.3.1 of the MSA "BLUE BOOK" ~~"Wheels and tyres are free but must fit within the standard UNMODIFIED wheel arch" ~ that is an extract from the 2005 blue book ~~ I have lost my 2006 version :oops: :oops:

So thats what they call the wheels is it Turbines,i have to be honest Rod i think they are horrible looking wheels.If i was to fit Minilites the most i would go to is 15x6j as i think with 8j it would aquaplane in the wet to much at the arse end,but as i said Rod i dont know yet if im going to keep it cos i dont think it will be able to stand the stick it will get,seen Minilites advertised new 15x6 for £93.00 each which i thought was very cheap.

why would wider wheels aquaplane?

You can still run 195's on them.
