Hello mate... not aspen blue... its pacifica blue 500se cab. Live in Paignton really but Torquays a bit more heard of. Want 18s but if to much hassle will settle for 17s. I have seen a rst on 18s... was told to get different offset and use spacers but got no idea wot he ment. Need a gearbox first... Just got a chip and the fuckin gear box packed in. Nice rs mate looks good on those rims.

You'll need to take out the inner arch liners, and slightly roll the arch lip, I had 18's on my Mk 4 escort about 3 years ago and thats all I did, passed the MOT every time like that, oh and it had a 40mm drop on Spax Springs! HTH
