Thats not actually strictly true mate!
My 18" RL7's fitted on my 3 door with Koni's on the front end! It depends on the offset of the wheel to be used and the tyre size

Got to agree there
They will fit without coil overs and have new 215/35's all round!
Would look the bollox on any Cossie except my Escort as they don't fit it
