I've just got back my Mk1 93 Clio Rsi from a local garage. Amongst other things I wanted them to fit Mk2 Clio Alloys (standard size) to replace the corroded Mk1 alloys I had. However the garage guy said that he couldn't fit the rear alloys as they would not turn (rubbing against the disc). Has anyone come across this before and is there a solution? If not I'll have a set of Mk2 alloys plus good tread tyres if anybodys interested.

the wheels will be touching the caliper, need to shave a bit of metal off the caliper body or use spacers.

But tbh they shoudl go as the same rear calipers are used on mk2's.
