Hi all, my friend has a lowered r reg escort gti ( 60 mm ) which he wants to fit 16 inch mondeo wheels to with 195/45/16 tyres. Does anyone know if they will rub at all?

 

the arches wont rub









but the chasis will on most small bumps

 

Up until last year, this is how low my daily runner used to sit
no real issues except speed bumps
Raised it up a bit since but still on 17's, just a different set

 

16S on that size tyre are perfect

 

i had 18s on an escort gti back in the day, lowered at least 60mm on coilovers without any issues at all

 

ah the days of escort evolution and the mkv register hey mike. I had about 3 si's, 4 gti's, a ghia cabriolet and a rs2k amongst a few other lower spec everyday runners over the years. Funny thing is i did similar modifications to them all, magnex cat back, gmax shocks and springs, etech strut brace. Oh the money i wasted :-(

 

and that has to do with 16" wheels ?

sorry, i saw mike reply who was a member on there for ages. Sorry to thread hi jack.
