It would but it would make it look like its on stilts and would need to be lowered really. Then the wheels would probably scrub on full lock and it would generally be s

I would recommended getting some clio 182 alloys 16" so will be a better fit and will look far better than some aftermarket tat

Don't bother buying any of those crappy, nasty alloys being sold by some motor related retailers.
Keep the standard wheels, put the money into savings so when the insurance goes down in about two years you can afford a nice German barge or something.

I would re-think getting alloys full stop.
I take it your young and havn't been driving long, you will kerb your wheels, hub cap = £15, alloy refurb = £50+
Tyres - £30 v £60
additional cost to insurance = ?????? (you were going to tell them right?)
It will handle worse, rub on the rear when you have any more than two people and a box of tissues in the back.....and more than likely look rubbish.
As said above i would stick with hub caps, i did when i was 17 (only 20 now) and was greatful for the cost of tyres but if you must put on some alloys at least put on a manufacturer's optional upgrade (16" max) in order to negate the problems highlighted above somewhat.

A mate has a clio with steelies, can't afford and doesnt see the point on spending money on alloys. So hes sprayed the steelies pearlescent yellow. 
Use the money for maintenance.

Probably the best advice your going to get. Save up and get yourself a decent car. I take it your young and havn't been driving long, you will kerb your wheels, hub cap = £15, alloy refurb = £50+

If he was to get clio 182 alloys is he able tell his insurance that they are manufacturers rather than aftermarket. Reason im asking is because at the moment im on my mum car but might buy it off her at some point this year. Its a ford focus, with alloys but if I buy it from her I might end up putting st170 alloys on it do I need to declare anything to the insurance?

Good luck with the Clio!
