[QUOTE="Spitfire1, post: 170201, member: 2800"] I assume the suspension / brakes is the same as mine (1.2 16V) as I've just put a set of Team Dynamics on which are 15" Dia (standard size for the 16V) x 7" width and an offset of 23, I was running with a 16mm spacer so I had the wheels made to remove them and the fit is spot on, the clearance on the inside is the same as a standard wheel but I've pushed the rim to the edge of the wing - I'm running 185 x 55 x 15" tyres. Here's a pic with the old wheels on (ET36 + 16mm spacer) [img]https://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h70/FGRob/Twingo%20File/IMG_1087.jpg[/img] This is with the new wheels on: [img]https://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h70/FGRob/Twingo%20File/IMG_12061.jpg[/img] You can see the backs are filling the arch a lot better. Here's one from the back: [img]https://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h70/FGRob/Twingo%20File/IMG_12051.jpg[/img] And finally the wheel in detail - it's gloss anthracite (suits the car better than black) you can see they have a deep central dish - makes the wheel look solid - well I think so, handling is better as well now. [img]https://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h70/FGRob/Twingo%20File/IMG_12041.jpg[/img] Hopes this helps you make up your mind, messing about with offset can make so much difference. Rob. [/QUOTE]
