It can be done but the car drives like crap. Stick to a sensible width and offset by using the Mondeo 5 spoke instead.

1. They used a 195 tyre on an 8J rim
2. They spaced out wheels that already sit too far out

second that! Why would it need spacing? To be fair you can get away with a 195 on a 8j, the golf boys do it all day long.

Looks fooking class by the way

Yes and No.......... Depends how fussy you are. Mine with stretched 195/40 on the fronts and 195/45/16 on the back about 30/40mm drop (not too sure as the car already came lowered) Didn't do no mods to the car just put them straight on no catching or touching the shocks or arches. Only problem when you go over a ditch ot something you know about it.......
