Hi after some advice

I am looking to get Compomotive CXN for my 3 door.

I want to know what size I can go without having to trim the arches.

I would ideally like a deeper dish on the rears and want to know what I need to go for.

Thanks

 

these are 7.5 front and 8.5 rear but are copies and coilovers but have room on the rear.

 

You can't buy new as Comp have stopped making them but if you can find a set of 2nd hand 7.5 front and 8 or 8.5 rear

 

Why have they stopped making them? Thought they were pretty popular.

 

Pic time

Parrot, mine are 7.5 fronts with 205/40/17s with an offset of ET30

Rears are 8" with 215/40/17s and an offset of ET24 and NOOOOOOO arch mods needed, although i'm in Spax Suspension and springs...

 

Thanks for that. Your car looks the business with those wheels. Just wanted to ask if the dish on the front is the same on rear? Have the wheels got a 1inch dish front and rear?
Thanks

 

No deeper dish on the rears Parrot..

 

This pic shows the rear depth better..

 

Any excuse for a few pics Pete roflmao.
Hows the car at the mo, still running fine?

 

He wants pics Jase, pretty hard to expalin without them...



Yeah it's all good mate, been out in it the last two days.....

 

I always said id never trim my archs but they look so much better poking out a bit lol, i had to trim 10mm or so off the plasic bit was well worth it IMO

 

You are the king of the pics mate.
Mine all in the garage for winter now, except the MK1 Escort

 

Thanks for the pics guys.
On this one has the rears got a deeper dish than the front? What are the measurements you have gone for?

 

Make sure you get wider rears whatever happens

 

they look the bollox - best wheels for the 3dr

 

They certainly do.....how can I get a set?

 

Buy a set

 

Definitely agree with that! The standard offset is ghey!

 

From where???

 

Mine for 2grand...

 

I think if mine had more than 37k miles on it etc and not so clean i'd have trimmed my arches for sure AND gone 235s on the rear and 215s front this pic shows the rear of mine better Parrot, that's ET24 offset

 

What is the outer rim size on the rears?
Are they really for sale?

 

either buy Staffi's wheels as he has just had them refurbed too so will be mint or you could buy similar wheels from Image - but personally i think the CXNs look better

 

I think I can answer those questions... 1.5" outers on the rear and yes and no!! Pete is a nightmare! one minute they're for sale, the next they're not!!

Just go 18"!!

 

well he couldnt sell the car so prob thought he may as well give the wheels a go

 

Martin, i've never said to you they're for sale... you asked, i said i'd think about it and told you no..

If i was offered 2k on the other hand they'd go, you can't get them now so imo that's a good buy with tyres too...

 

You can talk with those Hock offset you gave me...

 

You're memory is pretty bad huh?? YOU gave me a price and I said I'd ask the guy, when I came back saying he was interested you said you thought they were worth more...

 

Ade500 has exactly the same wheels on his 3dr and they sit perfect mate in the arch, but then he has those camber adjusting shims like i have bought. I dont think he has cut the trim on the kit either so they can work

Anyway, im still hoping they will fit over my brakes so i can keep them

If you wanna try them out - they're here mate, you're more than welcome mate

 

 

Well that still isn't saying YES is it you numpty...

And imo they are worth more...


So Ran & Martin............

And stop fooking this guy's thread up....

 

Stop telling porkies and I will gladly do so!

 

Just get me some 18" Montes ready incase i sell these..

 

sexy......

 

With better scenery..

 

i wanted these soo bad for my FRS i had the cash ready, and then several of my friends commented 'are they hubcaps' and i lost interest....

bought a set of CXT's but they dont suit the focus and i've been kicking myself ever since! (they are gathering dust in the garage, amazinf how they look so good on a saff but slightly wrong on the focus)

 

^^^^ That pic should be on front of a mag imo...

Mart, don't you fancy the OZ Stickers etc on them ??

 

18" Montes look very nice indeed on a Black 3dr , I dont think they`d have the same effect on a moonstone or white one

 

Should ALWAYS go with what you want Ginge..

I think they're a stunning rim especially on a Focus, i'm just abit of a pussy when it comes to 18s as i'm anal about my arches, BUT 18s are the only ones to have imho...

 

so 2k for the CXNs with tyres - thats a good deal
