I have just managed to bag a set of clio turbines for cheap money,i was going to fit them on the wifes polo but i was thinking maybe my car would like to wear them instead.They are still standard silver but may paint them a darker grey or something

I know i will need spigot rings which is no problem but was just wondering what they look like on and do i need spacers and what tyre size is/or looks best??.They currently have on 195/45/15's but i could keep those as spares for the wifes g60's

Also my car will be lowered 60/40 once the kits arrives

Any opinions or links/pics would be a great help

Ta muchly

I'm fairly certain you will need spacers.

Clio turbines are quite a nice looking wheel, but I believe they are only 6" wide aren't they, so you'll be struggling with anything wider than 195 rubber at the max. I don't know the offset but odds are you will need spacers to bring them out the arches a bit.
