They'll be some chopping of arches etc!

Is it worth it for FRS Wheels??

The best wheels I've seen on a erst were 5 stud T5 volvo wheels!

That must have been more work!

If you like them go for it!

i think i saw a pic of that s2,was it white with green bumper strips,looked very nice with the volvo rims,i hav alwys liked the mondeo ghia 18inch or st220 wheels but again 18s but did think about trying different hubs and that to see if anything would marry up to make things easier if anything ever had to be replaced,at least that way it would just be a case of getting oe parts

I think 18's on an ERST is like 20's on a Cossie, you just wouldn't do it.

Remember a few years ago in Southampton seeing an S2 running on a set of Team Dynamics 19".

Must have rode bloody awful.
