will 8x18 wheels with an ET35 offset fit on the escos?
and will it drive ok with these on?

cheers

 

Standard ET is 25 so seams to much to the inside of the arch.

 

is there anyone here that has done this or knows if its a deffo yay or nay?

i am using saphire 4x4 drive train in my escos shell anyway what ET are these?

 

The sierra drive train is similar to the escort anyway, the problem is the extended arches on the escort cossy.
The wheels might fit but they would 95% chance of hitting the callipers front and rear and the legs.
As Jakub says you need to come out to at least ET20, which is the equivelent of using a 15mm spacer kit.
I sell the proper ones and have 30mm ones on my car for 2 years.
We get them to TUV spec and are 100% safe to use on and off road.
If you want or do get the wheels contact me for the spacer kit

 

You will encounter a couple of problems trying to fit ET 35 on a standard Escos.Firstly,your wheel studs will not be long enough anymore and secondly the wheel will come into contact with the strut.You can get around this by using coilover struts with longer studs.Cossymads method sounds the cheapest though.I might look into it myself as i have some tasty 18 inch mags which are ET 33,group A offset,that i can't use at the moment.

 

they will also look sh*t m8 as they stick in a lot

These are the spacer kits I sell The ones on the right maybe a little big for a cossy
(fitted fine on a maxi megane though

Fcuk me chris, how low is your escos!! Looks awesome!!

 

Wow.....does look nice, does it scrub out your rear tyres though?

 

It is very very low, but it was lower. Trouble is I had to raise it 'cause I ripped off 2 splitters getting on my own drive
