er Rog ....... how much the fcuk is your cossie lowered by mate? Is that a 60mm drop?

Coz mine is sitting in Koni's but i think i have the poxy 25mm drop! :mad:

W4SIM 28-07-2005 09:51 PM

Syvver - Them Toora's suit your Saph down to a T mate. I think they really stand out coz of the colour of the car more than anything else.

Hi guys,

I am going to put 17" Superleggara's on. I was going to go for 7J, but a number of you have gone for the 7.5Js. I currently have 8J Escort Cossie Wheels, but I am sick of replacing arches!!

I don't want to buy 7.5Js and have the same problem ever again.

Also right tyre sizes please would be helpful

Cheers

JJ

W4SIM 10-08-2005 09:35 PM

The Gold 1's you see above on the blue Saph are 7.5J x 17 mate. They are a 35mm offset with 225/35/17 tyres. Dropped by 25mm.

All of the above with no arch rubbing what so ever.

I think the problem most people have mate is putting on the wrong size tyre and then having trouble with it when it catches.

JjCoDeX75 12-08-2005 02:23 PM

Thanks for that W4SIM, The car looks mint!

My problem is that the esco wheels are the wrong offset, and too wide, also mine is dumped a little too low!!

7.5J sounds like the way forward.

Thanks again

JJ

W4SIM 12-08-2005 07:34 PM

No worries mate :top:

I wouldnt go 8J if its too low like your saying, especially if the wheels are too wide aswell. You'l be replacing whole wings and quarters! :eek:

er ...... how much is it lowered by anyway?

I like the original lattice alloys. http://images.ibsrv.net/ibsrv/res/sr...s/smile011.gif I would be able to get a hold of a set of Borbet E's, 16'', wonder if they would look any good on a Saff. Comps are usually the best looking choice for Saff but Im thinking that what would these look in a Moondust Saff:
