I've recently bought myself a 3dr Sierra and want to change the wheels and a mate suggested the Lenso BSX as a nice looking rim on them, does anyone know if 17" ones would fit ok without any clearance issues and which tyre size to use, any input would be great as I can't look at the rims much longer lol

 

before buy them,check the centres!! i have bought 9 whells in 16" and the 4 wheels had no straight centres!!! for me buy with offset closer to original 38-35,with 225/40/17 tyres!

 

I had 16" lenso bsx on mine they where no bother



I've got 18" on now used to have 17" hockenhiem a on with no bother

 

What ET are these and width 8 x 16" ?

 

there is two types of lenso in 16", 7.5x16" with et 25 and 7.5x16" with et38,i think siscossie are et25.

 

Mine were et25 and 8"/16" same as escort cossie

 

I tried to fit my 18" revolution millennium's but they were fouling the spring cup so I don't want to have the same problem with a new set, I fancy the 17" BSX'S

 

Im near sure James Kielty has these on his 3dr

 

not at the minute john ,their in my kitchen


walshy ,get a big hammer to the spring cup on dink and they will fit fine lol,

its what i did

 

i wasnt kidding you

 

i have read good words for JBW wheels in one classic forum with escorts mk1-2.

Nice pic of your 3dr at one of the scotch corner meets.I miss my meets there.

 

Should be started up again good meet

 

Got Lensos on my 3 dr 17s 7.5 front 8.5 rear and I think et 35 front and et 25 rear as this was the best I could get, car is on Ahmed springs and koni dampers with a saph arb and they were a fucking nightmare! Wish I'd never bothered, caught bumper and all 4 arches. Buy different wheels unless your on coil overs

 

I was on coilovers never had any trouble but they were 16"

 

i had et25 all round and were fine on mine

8.5x17 rear and 7.5x17 front

205/40 17 front

215/45 17 rear

rolled the little tag on the front arch thats about 2 inches long, and fitted coilovers and had no issues
