Hi ive just brought some 16" escort gti wheels for my van ,ive got them home and the tyres fitted on them are 195/50/15 like i had on my series 2 alloys ,is this ok like this or should i change them to 205/50/16 like all the gti wheels on ebay seem to have on them .
id rather not change them as im skint lol but saftey comes before money any advice would be greatly appreciated
thanks Dave

 

Should be fine mate, they are slightly stretched but guys running Escos rims on the likes of Fiestas and stuff have to drop down to 195 so they dont catch the arches.

So in the case of you ever wanting to lower your van you'll be one step ahead lol!

 

Hope that's 195/50/16 or that's some stretch..on a 16" rim

.

 

i was just thinking the same 15 16

 

yeh the rim diameter is 16"(when i put a tape across it.)but ive just been to a tyre place and the bloke there told me there 15 "alloys off an escort gti not 16" LIKE I THOUGHT THEY WERE ??he told me you wouldnt get a 15"tyre on a 16"alloy i would have assumed that did the gtis come with 15 or 16 "alloys does anyone know
thanks for the replys (im having a blonde day )

mondeos come with the 16s escorts with 15s

 

thanks rapid and everyone else . 15s are good enough for my van anyway lol just made myself look a tw@t lol (nothing changes)

 

You have mondeo zetec wheels no escort ones

 

Bloody phone spelling
