Default Advice needed

Hi all, I have just bought a sapphire cosworth and am going to put Escort cosworth rims on it. What size tyres are people on here running on without catching the arches. Also there is a set of morette headlamp fitted but some of the lamps are very dull, where is the best place to purchase replacement lamps and what size are these lamps. Thanks in advance.

I agree, 205/40/16 are the best bet for the tyres, i used to run 215/40's but they used to rub the front arches over bumps. Although the car was low

I run 215/40/16s and never caught the arches but I think its still standard height so not sure on a lowered car.

a mate of mine has 215`s on his escort cos rims and they rib but again his car is too low so i`m guessing if you go low use 205`s but if not use 215`s.

if it was me on a 2wd car i would use 205`s front and 215`s rear
