Hi all,

I have been all over the world and have found what I believe to be the best forum!!!!!!
My question is about escos rims on 3 door there seems to be a lot of mixed opinions on this ,I am fitting them on my 3 door but I do not want a tyre profile lower than 45. I have also brought some Koni shocks/Avo springs at standard ride height cos I think the originals might have sagged a little.
On the original springs/shock the rims are wearing 205/45/16 tyres and are scuffing the arch edge hence new suspension above. So does anyone know whether wheels will work when new suspension is fitted or is arch work nes? Also am abit worried about handling cos others have said it suffers!!!
I have looked into the ET of the 3 door (ET40/41) and the Escort cos (ET25)and Sapphire (ET40) so it surprises me that I have heard nothing about the handling suffering from a Sap cos owner!
The car is gonna wear them just need some input from your experience

Thanks P.s -Don't Drive angry

Cheers mate for welcome!

There must be some way to make these wheels work! anything is pos?????

 

Yep welcome mate

 

im not to keen on seeing escos wheels on a 3 door. personally i think it takes all the looks away from it sorry just my opinion each to there own init??? im sure if you look hard enough you'll find a converter on the net that will work out wot size tyres are needed to make it work rite for u good luck

 

Its not the tyre size which is the issue,it,s the off set which is totaly wrong,moves all the pivit points on the front camber
