running staggered wheels on an xr4x4
At the moment I'm running escos wheels front and rear on 215/40's. But the fronts stick out a bit and catch the arches on bumps and the wheel arch liners on lock. The steering is also heavy and doesn't self centre very well. The rears are fine so I was thinking of running the mondeo escos style wheels on the front. Has anyone done this? What do you think?

Too many posts.. I need a life!!
It did the same on my saph when it was lower with Escos wheels with same tyre size and the tyres smashed the front wings so new they are slightly dented i had to replace the front springs for just 40mm lowering and havn't had a problem since.

I've picked a full set up for 80 quid so I'll try the fronts and see what happens. If it looks shit I'll fit the full set and flog the escos rims. I would rather it handled better than just looking good. I would go down to 15"s but they won't clear the brakes.
