thanks boys I do love a project.

ive got to many really but its about time I had a ford and what better than a zakspeed rep


looking at the wurth rep the rear wheels look awesome but the fronts to far in and to small.
they should be much bigger at the rear than the front but when there to small for the arch im thinking it looks worse.

the only front tyre option is a 245/35/16 which is the same as stock at 22.75" but will only give me 10" width so 2" short by my calculations.

which brings me to another option I have, still assumeing I keep the inside of the rim in stock position so as to keep the steering axis at least in the tyre contact patch I need 12j rims all round.

now to do this I will need to buy all 4 rims as 18x12js but I can fit the fronts with 285/30/18s and the rears with 335/30/18.

the front of the car will be lifted 1" but it will also give 1" more tyre all round in the arch filling it up better.
and rear will be 1.5" higher but I can still fit 2" lowering blocks in the rear
I don't know how low the front will go at least another 1" id hope maybe more....

the downside is I will have to sacrifice 1" up front of my lowering capability to accommodate the bigger front tyre.
but in my mind I think id rather have the car a little higher and wider with bigger wheels filling the arches than a pee wee wheel lost in the arch lol

stock tyres are 22.7" im looking at 24.7" front 26" rears.

I would like a 16" or 17" front rim but the tyres sizes just aren't available for a low profile 12j rim, the problem is the bbm desing is only made upto 18" but I have enquired if they would make me a 19"

at least im figuring all this shit out so I can raise the car under the stock tyres with the kit held in place and get a feel for what is going to work best.

my skyline has 275/30/19 front tyres and that drives ok so hopefully the capri will be ok with just 10mm wider.


or if I went for the bps rim desing with the centres gold





I can get them upto 20" rim, I could run a 18" front then and a 19" or 20" rear rim to keep the front to rear rim difference dimensions more accurate.
I think id go 19" tbh with a 305/30/19 tyre but there is a 305/30/20 also available and there super cheap second hand McLaren tyres

with the 20" rim I then get into huge rear overall sizes of 27" which is gonna fill the arch but jack the car up even more.
I guess I will just have to try and balance it out.


im swaying towards 18s all round for overall better look what do you think boys and girls ?
