Banded steels, quick question...
Thinking about getting some banded steels done for my mk3 escort, just wondering what width would be suitable, and which steels you think would look best?
Thanks.
Thanks.

I reckon around 7.5-8 inch would be plenty, although not sure about arch work.
Mondeo steels would be cool, get some pictures up after
Hope that's of some help.

Yeah they'd look pretty cool.
You're probably right, it would be worth it though!

Any scrapyard mate, they're not hard to come by mate, though bare in mind they'll need shotblasting and painting after being banded, plus tyres.

Oh thought you meant the mk1/mk2 Mondy ones, Ive got some 13" escort ones, you'll have to wait till I get my new wheels though

15x8 in a suitable offset would look best I'd say. Always thought anything above 16 looked a bit tall on an Escort. Also the lower the diameter the wider your dished wheels look

Starting to like the idea of original mk3 13"'s done to 8"

13s look a bit too small on a Mk3 I'd say as well. Tyre choice is very poor as well both in terms of sizes and brands.
15s are just right....

Just need to ring scrapyard see what they have got. 15's are decided then.

i've got 195 on my 7" wide wheels and they have a tiny amount of stretch. it doesnt matter what aspect ratio your tires are, tires that stretched will look stupid on a mk3 as the wheels will look tiny in the arches unless your running 17's

Shouldn't be to hard, plenty of tarmac rally cars will run wide wheels at the rear, and I'm pretty sure they need to be legal for road use (for road sections between stages), so you should be ok.
