Well picked some old style 18" mo`s up tonight and guess what ???
the buggers still dont fit over my calipers bugger, they fit better than the new ones, which whould have needed a 10mm spacer, the old ones about 3 to 5 mm or i could angle the edge on the caliper a bit and then it might just go, not sure yet and its to late to mess about any more to night

 

What ET are those Mo's you have?

 

you have pm

 

et 15 going to have to run a spacer or iam going to have to get the grinder out

 

you would have thought Dunc that ET15's would have been ok.

 

got them on but had to get the grinder out, will put a pic up later, must say the car doesnt look as good with them on, but i only want them for track and road and leave my racing harts for shows ect.
Well if you have the same brakes as me unless you run with a 7mm off set on the bells you have no chance fitting 18" rims

 

some pics







not going to stay white as i hate them going to be satin black, with some nice road legal slicks

 

Sweet.

 

love your car mate!! makes me fall in love with the scort all over again!

 

personally i think that looks tough as nails but if your aiming for track days then white is a bugger!

out of curiosity, what size are your brakes to cause these fitting issues!?

 

380mm mate, but its the caliper thats more the problem as most people with 380mm discs run with ap racing range of caliper that are a bit slimer than mine, but at last they are on

 

totally transforms the car dunc,amazing what difference a set of wheels can make,cant beat the harts though looks ten times better with them

 

Looks great Dunc, black will be good for track!

Out of interest what did you have to take the grinder too?

 

Also been looking at going towards 378mm discs with AP 6 pots for a front set up.

Yours looks lovely, shame you had to take the grinder to them for it all to fit tho.

But final result appears worth it

 

at least there on,lol.

 

grinder was good fun and not the first time i have had to do this only needed to take a small amount off the edge and now its painted black again its hard to notice at all, they need re painting so as i hate white, satin black it be and then they will look hard

 

gloss black be nice

 

i like em any way

 

They look awesome in white!
Very nice!

 

cheers should get the right nuts and centre caps tommorrow

 

staying white for now as they arent that bad and with a little touch up here and there they will do, also going to try them on the focus when i get a chance just to see if they fit and dont stick out to much, new tyres are now fitted so just about ready to use when i want i will post a new pic when i fit them on next, cheers

 

just my opinion but that to me looks propper crap. looks like someone stole your wheels

before any one gets on about well better than common rondells. i dont care i like my wheels. but this is just my opinion of course. dont want to upset anyone.
