Cosworth wheels
Hi guys I have mint escort cosworth wheels on my s2 but they rub a bit, what is the best thing to do to stop this, I would prefer standard turbo wheels to be honest ha

Koni adjustables or coilovers are a must with coss rims. Some arch trimming may be required if you go too low

Best thing to do with Escort Cossie rims on an RST..... Take them off and fit something with a more suitable offset and rim width

You said id have seriuos clearance issues and yet the wheels are on and looking good with an et28, cossie wheels are 8j and et25 so id imagine if the were 7j they would fit
Shame because they look great

You can trim back the inner rear plastic arch a bit and it may stop the rubbing.
