Was thinking of doing this.

Do you need to roll the arches or is it a straight fit?

I think with the smaller tyres they look good and fit fine!
but not too sure for width???

mine is really low, with my 17" rs 7 spokes its literally on deck with 4 in car so shud look good with escort wheels!


Gona do it for a change and then if get bored can put the rs 7 spokes back on, hopefully by then they wont be as common!

with standard escos tyres,forget it,theyre 225s,get some 215 tyres all round and softly tap the front ach lip so it wont catch,then youre fine!




best wheels for a saff i reckon!

if you wanna be different with a saph then put the standard wheels back on! had a set of esc cos rims on mine last winter but imo the most common wheels you see on a saph are either the rs7's of esc cos rims. less and less now have the original rims, mainly due to the fact they're a bitch to clean but well worth it imo

Like mine!!! I am in two minds to change the wheels or leave as standard.
