Hi all

1st post, so go easy on me...

Just bought myself a 1975 mk3 cortina, but it's running old snidey steel rims and they don't exactly do the car any favours. I managed to pick up a cheap set of 4 spoke 6x13 RS alloys (18mm? offset), but now I'm wondering what tyres I should put on them?

Any recommendations? Suspension & ride height is standard. I'd like to put 205/60/13s all round but if these are gonna foul the arches it might need to be 185/60/13s. Only concern with the 185s is that they're a good bit smaller diameter than the stock and it might look like I've got it on castors....

Had a quick search of the forum and saw one guy had 205s on a mk3 and they rubbed, but he had slot mag wheels

Any advice is much appreciated

 

they will be fine i used to run them on mine back in 94
Im now on 18"s

 

Cheers mate, 4 new 205s it is

 

be carefull with 205s cortinas run 37mm offset instead of 18 like other rwd fords.
My mk5 currently has 195/50 15 on 18mm offset revos and catches on front but stiffer springs and shocks sorted it rear clears no problem
