MK1 XR2 brake question
Does anyone know what type of front brakes came on the MK1 XR2 as mine has vented discs, and i thought they would be solid ones 
Maybe someone has fitted MK2 brakes onto it??
I ask as i have bought some RS 4 spokes and they wouldnt fit on over the calipers

errrrrr escort ones have a different offset which might be why they cathc the brakes?
i don't know tbh, i'm sure i've seen xr2's with the 4 spokes on before and have never heard of people having trouble..

Mk1 XR2s do have vented front discs and Fiesta Supersport RS 4 spokes fit fine.
Escort/Capri RS 4 spokes are indeed deeper dished and also a lower offset so stick out.
Had RS 7 spokes on my last one......
