Should get away with 225-35-18 on the rear at a squeeze, front arches will need to be rolled/dressed for anything over 215-35-18.

No mate the RUST bug had got it i'd modded the front to take a pro alloy 500 cooler and put together a better lump only to find.....

that the pass side inner sill,sill to floor and inner and outer arch and rear valance were not good Had to make the hard discision after 12 years of ownership to dissmantle it as the shell had a lot of patch work in the past and really not worth going any further money and time etc

So i still have the saff and all the goodies will end up on that along with new parts funded by selling cortina parts off

Sad yes but the right choice
