Lads, whats the best tyre size for escort cossie alloys on a saff cossie??? Have 205/50's but r rubbing a bit on the front. just wanted to know what ye find the best.
Cheers

 

215/40r16 on mine no bother with rubbing at all

 

205/40/16 no rubbing !!

 

mine are ok and mine are 215/40/r16 no rubbing

 

yea i run 215 40 16s and have slight rubbing if i hit a speed bump a bit hard but other than that its ok,

So just get urself some 40s!!!! personally wouldnt like to run 205s cos of how much they have to be strectched but people run them so cant be a major problem!!

 

Thanks guys, only prob is 40's with 205/215's are pretty low and the roads in cork can only be described as SHOCKING . Seriously hope the council's in the uk do a better job than the fcukers we have here!! might try 215/45's and hope for the best. Cheers fella's

 

liar......

 

I know a lot of people do it but escos wheels on a saph in a no no imo wrong offset and stick out too much, that's why you get scrubbing issues

I love escos wheels on a saff.

 

probably depends on what suspension you run and type of tyre you have.i have goodyear eagle f1s on mine and alls fine.

 

should be some kind of law about this not a fan tbh

 

u can actually get a away with 225 40s on the rear but its just easier with 215s all round. Dont see why people have a problem with them thou they look good on saphs. The only time u get major rubbing is with standard suspension setups or having them too low!!

Wouldnt say they stick out too much either!!

 

heres mine with 215 40 16 toyo t1r tyres unsure what size springs where on it but it never scuffed with no mods to arches

 

hat looks spot on mate if mine had sat that stance i would of kept mine on escos rims

 

Tried 225x40 on the rear, ended up with a new paintjob on the arcs, wouldnt recommend without rolling the arcs. Sold the wheels after that
