How easy is it to fit escort cossie wheels to s2?Would it drive ok with the wider wheels?

 

right tyres they fit fine!!!been told by a couple of people that it makes it a pig to drive??no personal experiance tho,look nice tho!

 

my mate has them on his ,look soo good, you will need 205 40 16 tyres mate, not sure wot it drives like tho,im after a set wen i can afford them

 

had them on my old s2 drove fine just used to catch the rear arches you have to trim them back a little look superb got some pics of it somewhere if you want ill post them up for ya

 

escos wheels look awesome on every car as long as its not a cosworth for some reason

 

i think so too

 

they stuck the weights on the outside?look the bollox tho,they suit everthing!

 

my RS, with 195/45's Yoko's

 

i have them on my turbo with 195/40 tyres drives ok used to them now, had to have my rear arches rolled thou

 

Thanks for replies guys,are 195/40 tyres the tyres id need?

 

do they defo fit onto standard s2 hubs? I bought some off ebay for mine, but when I offered them up to the hubs they didnt seem to fit correctly. This may be due to them seeing better days though.lol I sold them a week later. Wish I had kept them now :-(

 

they fit perfectly!

only thing id suggest tho is swapping from wheels bolts to studs.

when i tried my standard bolts in the cossie wheels they seemed like they would go straight through the hole, so i fitted cossie wheel studs to my hubs and used cossie wheel bolts, so i knew that nothing was comeing off.

as for tyres, think you can get away with 205's but i wanted the slightly stretched look and im on coilies so didnt want issues with rubbing, so i fitted 195's. like i said they do stretch a bit, but went on very easily and not had any issues with them at all.

 

You can get proper wheel bolts for your s2 when you fit cossie wheels from speedshack they are a perfect fit mate got a spare one somewhere

 

yeah,same ones u use if ya put mondy wheels on

 

are they ilegal

 

like the look on the s2 like

but i dont think they will fit on mine like

abit low

 

why would they be illegal?

 

Yes, give them a ring and ask for "Ghia wheel bolts" for fitting cossie wheels they're about £40 inc postage, bought some not long ago for my mondy wheels. They just have a bigger washer on them.

Just a personal oppinion but I dont like this tyre stretching look, all the euro boys are doing it and I think it looks weird. Each to their own tho!

i have these wheels on my s2 but the spokes dont seem to dip in they go straight are they just reps then

 

if they are 16 inch they are the mondeo zetec ones mate if they are 15 inch they are the escort gti ones not reps

 

My old s2 loved the escos wheels on it

 

what exhaust system is that? Wouldnt mind that on my S2... how it sound?

My s2 is dead quiet atm... (not trying to crash the thread just interested) p.s the escos wheels look v.nice.

 

That was a 4 inch mongoose mate and was nice and loud

 

i have escort cosworth wheels on my S2 which are on 205/40/16 tyres, also has S1 arches to cover the wheels as they are wider, drives fine.

 

if what ive read is correct, a cars tyres must not pretroude the cars bodywork due to road debris could be flicked up and hit pedestrians, there was a post awhile ago about a vw which had wheels which came out further than the bodywork and he had some probs with the police iirc

 

lucky my tires dont poke out past the body then lol!

 

i took 16" mondeo cossie look alikes off my old mk4 van and fitted ecos wheels, the ride was harsh tbh, better ride on 17's
