17" 133 rims on a Twingo Dynamic

[powermite]

Guys

are these a direct bolt on fit?will I need spacers?The 133s wings are wider than standard,so is there enough room under the Dynamic for them.Its got GT rims on at the moment but look like it could do with bigger

They will fit

 

[powermite]

without spacers?Has anybody got them on a standard twingo that you know of?Id like to see a picture of them

Are you sure they won't rub courtney? I'd be suprised tbh. They almost rub on a 133, only veyr slightly wider tyres will be accommodated, and they're a fair bit further out than standard twingo's. Of course they hub, and pcd are the same so they will technically bolt straight on

 

[Courtney]

The non 133's stand a bit higher and have ALOT of space between the rubber and the arch, so i am sure they will fit without a problem. someone might want to go some maths - not me

You won't need spacers they will stand out a bit further than the dynamique wheels already do..

I would love to get my hands on some for mine, but i think they will cost me too much now so will have to wait till either my 21st or christmas and speak to my dad ;-)

Have you thought about having your current alloys that came as standard painted? mine look great and i love them, but would prefer them to be at least 2 inches bigger!

 

[powermite]

yes,I have thought of that ,but as the 17"s are 2" bigger but with the lower profile tyres the overall diameter is not that much different.
I think I may have found 3 17" alloys,so just one more to find

Thats what i was thinking.. Good luck in finding a forth! And get some pics up when you've got them!

My friend has 17" on his GT fine with no rubbing even on full lock so don't worry they will fit they just look big, I think 16" look better

 

[powermite]

Hollie
are they the RS133 rims or aftermarket ones?

 

[holliedynamique]

Aftermarket but same tyre profile and offset, he lowered the car I believe to make them look good

 

[powermite]

great,i definately want to lower the car to get the stance right

 

[powermite]

ive tried them on the car tonight and although they fit ,i think they need a little spacer just to make them look right.The tyres that are on them are 195 /40 x 17 and the wall is very shallow.I think I will put 205 /40 x 17"s on,as it might offer a bit more rim protection.Itll also need lowering just to get the stance right.

Get some pics up!

ive only got two at the moment,and only tried one on the front and then it started raining.Ill put the two on later in the week,but personally,I think the 195s look a bit small.I think by putting 205s on it,i can then limit the amount i need to lower it by and therefore not make the ride quality too firm

you need 20mm spacers idealy to make the rs rims fit under the dynamic without any rubbing

 

[powermite]

thanks Dutchie,I thought so.The 133 must have different suspension completely then.

 

[Dutchie]

here are 3 pics of the RS rims fitted under the dynamic. it isn't lowered, and 30mm spacers are used.
Thought you might be interested to see them fitted.

 

[powermite]

thanks Dutchie

I think the look would be complete with a lowering job

I knew that these wheels would look good on a non rs car
