As YUM has some 8.5" fronts and 10" rears on order I thought it might be worth checking how much arch work he needs to do on the rear. Doug's car was on the lift so I bolted one on ....













As you can see they fit ok

Benni

They look great.

Stoo

wont they travel into the arch and touch on big dips? they look awesome but very in line with arch to me.but im not as clever as you mart so i could be wrong.

would a 6 degree rear beam that corrects camber/toe mean that the 10" wheels wouldn't fit? As I seem to remember that Zoo's beam meant that you couldn't run 18" wheels on a saff? Just wondering if it would cause the same issues on an escort?

10 x 18's, that wheel looks familiar, think i tried those on my car.

fookin huge tyres, and i thought my 245/35's were big

but do look very good

bigpower

Hate to say it, but im not into that look at all

lowman

Dan

Dave going by how close my 9x18 are with 245/40's i recon they will need work unless you want to run the rear suspension rock hard. Think they would catch under a hard launch when the suspension is loaded.

Dave hope you arent putting these on in place of the rondells

Bullett

iTrader: (2)

mo's are the better choice dave.your car is too "pretty". to have all that power and not shout "im fast!" is just wrong

Gatecrasher

Do you have to buy 4 martin or do you sell them in pairs?

redrsmk5

Im glad

PAUL_SHEP

You can buy them in singles or whatever you need..

My Escort will be wearing 245/40 fronts and 275/35 rears in the near future

Did you see this question Martin?

Martin-Hadland

iTrader: (2)

I have a car in the workshop that I can check this on but moving the arches outwards by 13mm is quite easy..

NEIL A

iTrader: (6)

Thats proper width Martin but with your power you will need it

Did you get a chance to sort a price for that gearbox ?

Martin-Hadland

iTrader: (2)

You have pm

One day Martin, Im gonna come up and see what the widest rim I can have on my GTiR... That looks

Question though, does running different size tyres affect anything on Diffs, front one mainly

RWD_cossie_wil

iTrader: (9)

the difference in profiles (35's/40's) should bring the rolling ratios back to near enough not to bother the centre VC too much I would imagine.

Martin-Hadland

iTrader: (2)

The tyres might be different widths but that doesn't matter, they are almost the same height wise which does matter on a 4x4

Charlie Chalk

iTrader: (1)

Ah ok, Cya tomorrow anyway

fehlbie

I run 225/40/18's front and 255/35/18's on the rear, which have the same rolling diameter with most tyre manufacturers.

rmuldbakken

But the front wheels are the old style compomotive mo's?

JHS

iTrader: (1)

The red Escort normally wears old style MOs, Martin only fitted the wide new MO on the back to see if they fitted...
