I am thinking of putting some 18's my escort turbo does any one now if i will need to fit some coilover or will they fit with my spax shocks and spring can any one help me with this

 

Come on mate 17`s look big as it is, 18`s wont look good mate.

 

Noisy boy: you obviously haven't seen this:


Also think (?) Lewis's old motor had 18s (could be 17s )


Plus Soy had 18's fitted.


Think you will defo need coilovers minimum.

 

ok sorry guys have not seen them and forgot soy had 18`s so please forgive me and get a fucking set of 18`s on there!!!!!!!!!

 

mmm its will drive like a shead with 18s on let alone 17s

 

SOY only used to go in a straight line anyway

 

wont 18`s put more strain on the gearbox and clutch?

 

yes

 

alex was your car at the essex meet the other nite?

 

no m8 its got no head on it and still wating for it to be done i bet it was my twin car there with the white roof

 

They're 17s mate!!

 

You sure ??
Certain the thread was named "My S1 on 18's"....or was that another thread

Did a quick search, but came back with no results.

 

Think I've got B10 OST thread confused with thread about this car....
These are 18's

 

alex ya did have white roof and i think i stick with what i said first time round 17`s look ok but a no for 18`s

 

Yes mate, those are 18s. The others are the old 5 spoke MOs which would have been 6 spoke if they were 18s!

 

Dont you think the wheels are just too big for the S1?

 

yea personally think 18's are too big ...17's are plenty tbh

 

Yes mate I do. Altho I do think they look good, if a touch impractical. FRO looks a tad strange due to not having side stripes as well

 

if it just sat there all day then 18`s would be ok but i hate to think what the drive is like?

 

Specially without power steering

 

ya 3 point turn would be fun or a mini round about

 

Those are indded 18's and the chap that owns it was at Brunters with me the other week. He openly admitted they scrubbed like buggery.

Keep it to 17's at an absolute maximum if you want to keep any form of driveability or handling. Would be better on 16's

 

yea godo cos ive just bought 17" compomotive mo's for my rst

 

Cheers lads i think i will be staying with 17's
