weird hearing nothing.

may be better with the coilovers then, at least you can decide what the car height is going to be,especially with the new wheels, may get a set myself.

Karl, i love it, looks exactlly how i wanted the blue 3 door to look,better wheels,engine,body...what more can i ask.

Well at that height mate i had to roll the arches - the fronts were the issue under heavy breaking and thats 7.5" ET30 205/40 also when you fit bigger wheels they sit closer to the back of the arch so when you drop it they are mm's away from the rear of the front plastic arch.

Rears the same as front but have to stiffen right up for when it dips under load

escort fitment is in the teens i think dave

martin hadland recommends et25 for the back of 3-doors and et35 for the front if buying new

my et35 comps in 17 were better but i wanted the old style comps in 18s and only et25 came up,took a gamble and honestly aint that bad

I measured mine up on the rear and they work out ET22 - i want to fit bigger tyres as the 215 on a 8.5" rim are useless - really need 235 but i would have to jack the back up

mine dont look much higher, it was et 27 on a 9 inch rim so a lower et overall. the fronts were et 24 on a 8 inch rim.

mine caught a litter bit with 245 on the back and 215's on the front but were really not that bad. I think the toyos come in at the top more?

I think they have changed their design as this is what they used to look like below - the new style is much better

Karl,

the wheels,et, width,tyre size all contribute to the stance of the car, you can see some very nice cars and wheels on here but yours may never sit like some on here.

have to wait until you get the wheels and go from there imo.
