Most of you will have probably seen my car at some point a couple of years ago but i've been doing a little resto again LOL.

Thing is, i've been let down for 6 months now with wheels that will fit over my brakes. I have found a V nice set but in the 19" the offset is only et 30 on a 8.5" rim.

BUT, a 8.5 x 20" has et35 which is ideal as I need to run a 20mm spacer to clear the AP's and get it down to et15

What do you guys think about 20's on an escos bearing in mind it is a road car not a track car! So no, "it'll be shite, you should get some 18" Mo's" Mr. Rainbum

muchos grassy arse.

 

personally no mate as i think 20's are just that wee bit too big.19" in my opinion is max but its your car and it maybe just pull the 20's off

 

scott why not, just get a set of 18" for when you want a blast and 20" for concours. I was going to put 20" on mine last year but decided to go for more power and better road holding ect and some nice fat 245 tyres

 

scott what if you got your discs set back in like mine as that will give you an extra 7 mm from the caliper face to the rim that might free you up some more on 19" rims ? as this is what i found

 

least you could say you were " rollin on dubs" lol

 

Nice to see something different, get some pics up of the wheels. Would imagine it would feel shit to drive.

 

as i said on RSOC get em on mate. I really hope you do compete next year as youre one of the benchmark setters

 

Reality is 18's are too big but, bet Escos's are much better on 17's and you can still fit 355 6pots. But.. in terms of looks thats a personal thing..

18's are optimum in regards to looks to performance ratio... 19's at a push.. 20's! thats just pimp my ride

 

One thing for sure scott is you'll be the only one!!!

Depends on the style really, if its a dished style, then it wont look a 20", more like 19", where as a flat spoke to the edge will probably look bigger than 20's!!LOL

I'd go 19's Max if it was mine, but you could get some spare 18's and have best of both!

 

Is there not any Escos's running 20's at the min? Scott i cant believe how long you have been looking for wheels mate, your bloody mad lad!

 

as far as i'm aware i'd be the only one "Rollin" on 20's LOL

 

Fuck it, just go for it. Someones got to mix it up a little..!

 

Im sure Chris (cossymad) said he had tried a few sets of 20's on his mibi worth trying to see if he has any pics to give you an idea. But i say go for it but would have a set of comps or similar for normal use and keep the dubs for shows.

 

GO FOR IT MATE!!! I was thinking the same as you last year, but got my hands on my favorite wheels in 19"(dunccoss` old racingharts) so i went for that.

 

There's a reason for that . This is it :

 

Who cares when it spends all its time parked up being cleaned anyway...

 

I wish he'd hurry up and get some wheels, I can't stand his pet lip anymore I seriously don't think he could take another let down lol, he's getting very touchy about the whole wheel situation

 

i havn't got a pet lip cheeky.

couldn't take another

Think I may be sorted now with some more 19's

 

Get some pics up when there on!!

 

Heres mine on the 20" i was gonna get(photoshopped)

 

Not as bad as I thought they'd look. I wouldn't want to take it around a track though!!

 

decided that i'm sticking with the 19's....................

expensive mistake if the 20's look too "Hot Wheels"

 

very good choice, dont think 20's would be practical at all, the problems of turning on full lock etc

 

Hmmmm!!

Knowing scott ,whatever rims he finally goes for he`ll nail it anyway looks wise,he isnt exactly known for putting gash stuff on it is he?
