    Not sure what you are on about with the 182 engine

    Should be able to drop it 55mm easily

    You will be fine with 35mm as the turbines are the correct offset for a clio.
    You could probably get away with 55mm if you dont mind your front arches

    I went 55mm on my 1.2 Biaritz and that was on turbines with 195/45 R15 tyres. Sat perfectly and handled quite good too, allthough i did quite quite a lot of scraping on the rear....
