Maybe be picking up a white RS1800 over the coming few days!

just wondereing if anyone has ever managed to squeeze on a set of escort cossie alloys to the MK3 fiesta?

Would it look shite? will it be a bitch to drive?

just knowing that they get squeezed onto the Escort RST's at times just thought it could be something a bit different to do on a fiesta!


Cheers

It's a small picture but you will need to do a lot of work to get them on that's my mates car in the picture with cossy wheel on had to take them off as it rub loads the wheel had the backs machined off to get them closer to the car it all depends on how much you want to drop it and how much arch work your up for doing

 

They can be made to fit and look really good. Car is completely ballsed with them fitted though

 

May avoid that one then!

cheers.

 

Get a set of Mondeo 16" wheels which look very similar. The fronts fit straight on but u need spacers for the rear as they rub on the shocks. They look sweet when tucked under the arches of a lowered one

 

It may be a lot of work.... but I think its worth it!

 

If you get the ET35 offset rims instead of the ET40 the rims bolt straight on with no shock clearance probs at all.

Escort Cossie rims are ET25 so it's not hard to work out why it's a bad idea

I had 215/40/16's on mine, they scrubbed a little but thats because my arches were modded for the 17in diamond cuts, but it you fit smaller tyres you should be ok, i have seen 195/40/16's on cossie rims, mega stretched on, cant be 100% safe really...

 

Shame the wheels don't really work as that pic is proof that they look good

 

Kel,

I'd stick to 15's if i were you for the best combo in handling etc....I've still got the original 14's on mine and its like a go kart

 

Cheaper tyres too

 

Spot on and the exact reason my FRST wears 15's
