Sierra cosworth 3 door compomotives
Hi everyone, just wondered if someone could help me, I'm looking to get some compomotive th's for my 3 door cossy. Ive currently got 17inch comps but realy like the look of the th's. Seen a few with them and think they look great. I heard that they are only available in 18's? Not sure if that is true. What I'm askin is what size wheels and offset is everyone using? And also what's the best tyre size to go for with these wheels? I've attached some pics the white car is mine and the black one is one I've seen on eBay, the wheels on the black one are exactly the ones I'm after with the exact same clearance just wondered what springs were used to gain the right height and clearance the same as that. All help appreciated. Many thanks. Russ

as far as i know russ they are only available in 18,s ,unless you can find an old set .
they are available in et 35 for saffs and 3drs and et 15 for escort cosworths
you will definatley need a a et35 on the front and maybe you could space them a little on the back.tyre size is a bigger problem on the 3dr s and you may need to go to a 215/35/18 which look a little stretched imo.
you could try a 225/35/18 but the tyre choice is limited

I ran 18" Comps on my 3 Door for a few years.
ET35, rears had 10mm spacers to move out in arches.
Ride was quite harsh so went back to 17s
