Do you have pictures of some Escorts with Focus RS rims ?
As they are ET42, big spacers are needed, no ?

 

you can buy hubcentric spacers which are 16mm, which more or less brings them up to the desired 25mm (well only 1mm out!)

but ive not seen any pics of those wheels on an escort yet.

if your local your more than welcome to try my FRS wheels on your Escos.

 

 

is that yours? what size spacers?

 

No fella, i should be so lucky. just a pic i had saved.

 

That looks quite good on them rims.

 

Dan@RapidFord has a Escort Cosworth on Focus RS rims.

Benni.

 

In 18, I think I'll have to put more for the clearence between the tire and the shocks...
Thanks for the proposition Kelv, but I'm french and I live in Paris, it's a bit far

 

The car on the photo is beautiful !!
I'll contact Dan to see if he has some pictures and the wider his spacers are...

 

The car in the picture is German, the sticker on the windscreen should be a giveaway... I actually considered buying that a few years ago, looks like a nice car.

 

The funny thing is, that Kelv has spent many hours with me in that workshop where the photo was taken, so he should have spotted it as well .

 

So thats a for Kelv then...

 

Wahoo - not me then!

 

Damn Mike you got me - Guido's of course.

Jan, shhhh - go away


Dan @ Rapid Ford's is on 9" Black wheels

 

Probably your turn next time, again

 

I will, enough work for today, Im off home

 

some more pictures
I have seen some of these on the efe this year and I think it still looks strange with those big spacers
and it seems that you can really see that they don’t belong on a escos
but that off course is just my opinion

 

odd one.

i dont think they suit the car perfectly atall, but at the same time i dont think they look overly out of place

 

seconded

 

Sorry didn't get a chance to reply but here are some pics of my car on focus rims. - I took them off because of the spacers that were needed.

 

Looks a million times better on the later wheels now Dan

 

Not sure if I agree I don't think I like black wheels






They do look better in the metal, but I think it the black that puts me off them they just look too small.

 

I love your new wheels Dan !!
One guy wanted to sell his 8x18 ET15 Team Dynamics, but I have no news from him anymore. I would have prefer these ones.

Can you tell me what was the size of your spacers ?
Your car looked well with FRS rims, because they were correctly "spaced" in the wheel arches.

I can have a set of FRS rims for a correct price, but between the look and the spacer's story I don't know what to do. Maybe wait to have a little more money to buy some new Comps...

 

sorry lads but i think the FRS wheels look like shite on the escos

 

don't like them either.. good wheels but not for the escort

 

i think they look nice on the non-spoliered one

but the ohers need more motorsport type wheels, for me anyway

 

Clickettman - as i said further up the post, you can buy hubcentric spacers in 16mm which would bring the Focus RS wheels near on close to the escorts offset of 25mm.

42mm offset with a 16mm spacer = an et26 (1mm out)

if you wanted them to sit as the et15 that many suppliers chose to sell 18" wheels for the escort cossies (such as Martoon on the Comp MO's, and Paul with the Monte/Ripley wheel)
then you would need a spacer of 27mm!!

 

I thought Paul had sold the company/rights to a Spanish company?

 

i dont like them dont think they work very well
