Default escos alloys on mk4 bonus...any mods??

need some help on this one...brought a set of escort cossie alloys for my bonus project thats slowly getting done, now i test fitted the wheels only to one side of the car as it was in the lock up. the rear wheels seemed to sit fine in the arch although the front seemed to stick out way more than other mk4's without rs turbo arches ive seen....the car is still at the standard height if that helps??...is there any other modifications i need to make?

rolling is a must, you might have to pull out the (rear) arches a little bit. Depends on the tyres and suspension you use.

BOUGHT...................... you BOUGHT a set of Escos wheels, not fucking brought.........



And on standard suspension it will look stupid.

once lowered you will need to roll the rear arches or machine the offset from the wheels
