Help!! 19" BBS Le mans on my Escort Cosworth.
Hi guys,
I need help. I dont know if I should run my 19" BBS Le mans or my 19" BBS Challenge on my Escort. I think that the Challenge is a more beatiful rim, but the Le mans is so much more....
Pic of the car with Le mans.
I will give you better pics tomorrow, and pics with the BBS Challenge.
Wish wheels is best???

CH by far the better wheel....CSL, 360 etc, but on a cossy it has to be LM.
I am jealous. Why not the RSGT or the GT with magnesium centres.....

I think I can answer the size offset question on behalf of Peter (forgive if I'm wrong Peter!)
These are 19x8.5 - et+30 - PCD 5x112 - Mercedes fitment, using Scorpio (Europe or USA) or Granada hubs (UK)

So then aswell as using the hubs , Im assuming you also need to use the brake discs being a 5 stud pattern , do you then need the caliper and mounting bracket from the same or is the Escort equipment maintained still ?

As far as I know, the only parts need changing are different discs (or bells if 2 piece) that are of the same offset of your curent discs, longer wheel studs (dependant on offset). The mounting bracket and caliper remain the same.

Finally!!! One pic of the 19" Challenge in front. I think I will go for the Le Mans. Just ordered new tires. Yokohama 225/35-19.
Offset on the Le mans is ET32. So I need to use a 5mm spacer.
