215/40/16 Eagle F1 (as they have a soft shoulder which helps prevent rubbing)

mine was on koni shocks (set to hard) and lowered 40mm on chasis dynamics.

Uncut arches it would sit on the arches when it squatted comming on boost so I put caravan spring assisters on the back springs which made it drivable but the arches still needed cutting.

Better to use the Mondeo 5 spoke as it looks very similar and the offset is miles out so the car should retain its driveability and handling

As for mondeo rims, I really think the escort cossie rims are worth the hassle!
