many options mate.

8", 8.5", 9" and 10" widths.

many go for the 8" with no problems.
a couple of cars are running 10" rears.
my car is on 9" with no problems.

but Martin at Reyland has recently had them made as the 8.5" which is possibly the ideal width for an escort cosworth.

what colour is your car mate, may help the wheel colour choice.

here is a pic of mine, it looks like the wheels are 2 small in the pic but they are 18's and it looks much better in the flesh!

also it has a polished outer lip

Right the best one is 8.5 x 18 et 18 as this fills the arch just right and as for tyre size you can put 245/35/18 on these or 235/40/18 or 225/40/18 just take your pic 235 ones might be best as 245 catch the liners on full lock

mine with the 8.5 rims and 245 tyres
