Default Lenso BSX wheels on a 3door

My eye has felt on this wheel. How is the quality of these and how do they fit the 3door Cosworth?

I've found out that they are availible in 7.5 x 16 with a ET value of either 20 or 38.

My car has rolled arches so wider wheels will look better but will they fit?



And what tyre sizes should be used?

What ET size are yours Siscossie? I want them to really fill up the rear arches. So if any lower ET then 36 are availible I want those. Some sites say they are in ET 20 and ET 36 but can't find anything on the Lenso site itselfs.

i think the 7.5 x 16s come in an ET20 mate, so check out if it will poke out the arches to much. the 7s i think coming in the ET28 or 30 iirc they are also available in 15s too

steer clear of 7x15s as they will just look pants.

i was considering these for my escab mk3, good replica wheel

but go for bbs rs's if you can

I got 205`s instead of the 195`s they where going to give me, i think they look ok. They only did the et25 for the ford which is the same as the escort cossie. I put a 10mm spacer on the rears so there just in line with the rear arches now, 7.5"/16" just the job.

I've got rolled arches on my car. Before I bought it, it had those very wide BBS RS wheels on it. See this pic:




Would ET20 fit in my arches?
