Has anyone got a pic of a mk4 Escort with 17" MO's on?
I need to change the Rondells as i am worried about destroying them on track and would like to put some more rugged wheels on and to be honest the Rondys were someone elses choice and are a bit too bufty stylee for me
My 18" RL7's won't fit either surprise surprise
Cheers Spadge...

 

Dave (Twins) has black comps on his Spadge. Look mint aswell

 

I can't see the pic Paul

Looks the bollocks. Do it

 

Totally agree mate

 

Thanks everyone MO's it is then
Just got to find some now and get shot of these others

 

Mine are only 7" wide Spadge & i see you was after 7 1/2

 

Mine are 7 1/2 et35

 

Whats the widest tyre you can put on a 7" wheel mate? 215??

 

Pretty sure it is a 215.

 

What have you got on them chap?
What deal would you want against my Rondys or RL7's

 

215 will go on 7 inch rim Ok! Will fill the arches nice aswell!

There's a pic of 17x8 40 offset! Too big by around an inch!



HTH

 

Are you sure they are 40 offset in that pic mate as they don't look it! The offset on the Gartrac is slightly different to an rst due to its wider front and rear track.

 

Yup Spadge definatly 40mm offset!



Zoom in on this pic and you can see it on the wheel!

 

Ive got 205 40 17's on at the moment on the comps & 215's on the 8" wide RL7's. They all look ok dont look stretched or nothing.

I'll do a deal Spadge it all depends how much its going to cost me LOL

 

Must be because they are 8's then mate as they stick out quite a long way for a 40!

 

Spadge u need somert diff....

Get a body kit.....



ZERO offset and some grip....

whats the point in having wide track with the wheel tampered inwards....

 

I'm sure we can work something out mate give me a call tommorow as its easier to chat about these things

 

Won't be doing the body kit thing dingle
The track will still be as wide as a cossie regardless of what i put on mate and that wide enough for me for now

 

as wide as what cossie ?

Whats under the backend ?

and whats the offset now ?

plus get real MO's with a flat face

 

Will do Jules

 

It has everything off a 2wd cossie underneath mate inc rear beam,rear arms,diff,brakes,shocks etc.... The offset on the Rondells is et36!

 

slighlty off topic but can ya put up the photos u took of this when you got it spadge wanna have another good look

 

Get some flat mo's on it

 

Ok mate here you go

 

cheers spadge what turbos that? doesnt resemble a t34 but then that could just be me

 

Its an MD240R roller bearing jobbie mate

 

That actually looks like an MD240 Spadge. Not the 'R' version which has a ported 4" inlet.

 

thought it looked awee bit different

 

pmsl @ real MO's you GOON

 

I have the bill from Turbo Technics here mate and its only a few months old! MD240R is what it says!! It has a T4 sized compressor housing if thats what you mean?

 

Thats odd. The MD240R should have this housing on the front...

This MD240R is not that old either....

 

Is it possible it could have a 240R core then mate?
The reason i say that is that the bill was from 05/04 and says upgraded to MD240R

 

Daz i just read the blokes description of the turbo from when i bought the car and he says its an MD240R also and describes this a s being a T28 exhaust housing with a T4 compressor housing and a roller bearing core!
