I love these wheels.They suit 99% of most fords.

I had a set on my old sierra which i sold to the car to my mate with these wheels on for 300 quid.So basicly he got the wheels with a free car.

These escos wheels go for daft money these days.I paid 250 for the set i had.

Just had new tyres on the front and tracking done so its been expensive!

Think they need wider tyres though next time to cove the lip as it'll handle better!

I don't mind sacrificing the handling for looks this time though!

Is that where they are catching? Are you sure they arnt catching on the inner wheel arches.

You could try wheel spacers.

No its not catching inside its rubbing the arches. Ive got spacers I may put them on as the fronts stick out ever so slightly anyway

Is it catching the front arches or the rear ones.

On my sierra I had to roll the lip of the front arches cause the front tyres would catch.

Just the rear arches fronts are fine. How much roughly to get both arches rolled on the back?
