Does anyone know if there's a supplier that sells these in 9x18? Warren has them on his Puma Cosworth and I really fancy expanding on the width on the back of my Focus.

Thanks,

Al

 

9 inch at the rear

 

Well I'd perservere and try fitting 10x18 if they made RL7's like that

 

I know you love the RLs, but surely its so much easier to fit some MOs ? ?

No worries of them cracking etc...................the last thing you want on your mind with the planned increase of power

 

Powdercoated mine twice now and they've not cracked, strong wheel IMO. Proven last year with my "little" misshap, so those that have cracked must have really gone through some real stress.

If I went the MO route again, then I would deffo like some 9x18 6 spokes, they look pornographic! But I only want 9's on the back if I can source 2 RL7's in that width.

Only pic I can find...

 

get some mo's then i can have the rl7s lol

 

errr.....no!

 

Warrens are not 9s they are 11s mate, you can get 9s but so hard to come by, no where sells them now

 

dont you need to get it running again first lol

 

im on 8" at front and 10" at rear.

 

Minor detail, almost there. Look at my thread

@ Jimbo

Are they? Hmm....they'll fit one way or another

@ Warren

Wanna sell the rears

 

nah marco is having the rears. deal already done

 

lol mines back on the road in januaryjust need to tax it now

 

Warren you tramp, you promised me when we joked about it ages ago!

No worries But there's gotta be some others out there...

 

has john got the engine back together now then be good to see it going again

 

nah the ones marco had off me are 11's. the ones on the car are 10's as marco came down and measured them and he thought the ones i gave him were the same.
no i didnt you tart

 

@ Rich

Look at the thread, link in my signature I'm living in Macclesfield and the car's back home, so John is doing his handy work and I get in the way as much as possible when I pop home

@ Warren

Well I thought we did then

But the 10's would go perfectly on the back of mine, but as I recall, there was just enough clearance. So a set of 9's would be ideal. But the plus side with the MO's in 9", you have a decent deep dish on them

 

yea just been looking getting there then should be a nice bit of kit in the end,i just got gwyn abber to build mine much easyer lol

 

You have more chance of getting some off a Marcos which ran the 10's or 11's iirc[still mega rare though], but these are 5 stud so you would need to change your hubs to ganada ones.

 

Hey it was a nice piece of kit before, its just developed again

Gwyn with the Puma, yeah he's a good lad. Almost got a block off him, but it was a 205

 

Conteplated that when I went through the split rims idea, but it wouldn't be a problem, only need to do 2

how about these.want a set fot the focus

 

Nah, don't like them.

 

I recently bought 4x 9" Rl7's but when measured them they were 225mm (9") but are 8" the extra inch is where the tyre sits

example so if you measure a wheel from side to side and it measures 10" it's only a 9" wheel

when i measured Warrens they are 12" across so these are 11" bit too wide for me even with the arch mod ive just had these fully refurbed for him look the bollox i cant upload the pics because photo bucket wont except jpeg file keeps saying it's media wtf

marco

 

Thread over on escos site regarding remaking them in alloy

 

hi mate thats not going to happen

 

If enough interest ???

 

Well in that case, I want the 10" one's then, just as long as there's a bit of dish lip on it and it proves to be wider than my current 8x18.

Happy enough to swap for 2 of my mint condition RL7's too

 

yes, if theres enough interest i dont think there is i spoke to martin about them

 

will 10" even fit under standerd arches ?

 

Tried one last year, but wrong offset. Was just over the lip of the arch, but looked awsome. Doubt it'll pass MOT, so I'd settle for a nice 9"

 

Get some proper arches fitted , then you can use whatever widths you like ;o)

 

And be like sheep like you?! Nah mate, I like the subtle "unique" () look of my Focos, simplicity. Plus, when I crash I won't be crying or paying out as much for RS parts as you would

 

either will i as il build a standerd shell to put it all in lol

 

Why do you always feel the need to mention sheep??? LOL

 

just get 10 inch mos then, the r7s dont have a dish anyhow, they just face inwards more, the mos have a dish 10s on the rear of my escos

 

on another not did you manage to measure that escort tank buddy boy ?

 

Would love to try these on my focos!

 

XR4x4rs - what offset are these 10" mos ?

 

erm, et20 i think i need to couble check, could be 25

dingla will go do it now for ya
