Default escort Cosworth wheel fitting.

hello everyone.

even no this question has been asked before i have done a search and i just want to make 100% sure that I'm buying the right thing

So since I'm going to have to buy the rims and tires separate i need to know.

8jn are the right ones yes ? wasn't sure if they came in any other size

What wheels studs/bolts do i need

are these the right size tires 195/45/16 ? and what tires should i get ?

thanks in advance, oh and i am still looking for a set of cossie rims so pm me if you have any for sale

toyo proxes t1-r 195/40/16 is what i have on mine il measure my studs in a bit mate as wheels are coming of tonight. and with these wheels expect the tyres to wear more on the inner edge and just be carefull when reverse parking against a kerb as the rim will stick out a fair bit and they tend to get stonechipped there too. they take some getting use to aswell over the standard rims.
this is just my experience as i have these on my car.
hope this helps.

haha ha yes mate, they will fit for the stretched look,and for extra arch clearance, dont use them for blatting about in tho, should be able to get them fit anywhere tbh, they will advise you not to but remember the customer is always right

Don't use 195's Conor they are too narrow for an 8j rim. I'mspeaking from experience. 205's are fine. I've got 205's on mine now.
