whats the ideal offset for 8x18's on an escort cossie.

just that i cant work out what offset my wheels are and im after a spare set.

Cheers

 

ET25 is standard, but the wheels look too inset with this, so ET15 looks much nicer and gives bigger clearance on brakes.

Just spotted another set of the racelines for sale but with 33mm offset... and on an escort cossie, which almost had me heading for the bank but ill hold fire a bit for now!

Mike, pestering you a little now

these dont appear to sit greatly different to mine, would you know (by any chance!) what the lowest offset that raceline went down to?

 

Paul is running SPACERS .

 

the man who always has the answer

 

My 18" Kahns are ET20 and fit over AP brakes ok.

Run the wheels you want with spacers,long studs and sleeved nuts.Most of the best wheels come as group"a" 33/35 offset anyway.Comps are good and you can get an offset to go on straight away,maybe Rondell's also but they are made of chocolate.

 

You need to quantify that with which ones

 

Which what?

Kahn R-SSs 18 x 8
AP 5200 with 330mm discs front
HiSpec with 310 or 315 disks rear

Anything else?

 

That's better .
