What size are the brakes ?

Biggest I could fit with 17 inch Revolution was 335mm with AP 4 pots.


Plenty of other 17 inch will take bigger

I doubt Escort Cosworth wheels would clear 4 pots, it all depends on what size the brakes are.

It’s all about getting the correct offset on your alloys when contemplating a BBK 2wd SAPH’s are a bit easier to fit bbk’s Than a 4x4, I had 7j x17 et 35 five spoke mo’s on my 4x4 saph but needed a 10mm spacer to clear my AP four pots with 330mm discs

They would'nt have been my choice for a Saff. I like my old school OZ Cronos which clear my 330mm discs.

Depends on the brake kit too! I’ve got a set of ap 4pots (same as fitted to some TVR’s and Clio V6) and 330mm discs, but my 7.5x17 MO’s barely clear them... No chance of my 7” RL7’s going over them!!

Certainly not much clearance between your calipers and the wheel by the look of it, but it clears so that is all that matters.

Looks tight! Can you use standard stick on balance weights? I’ve had to hammer mine a bit thinner and stick em on with silicone...

It is pretty tight, but flattened weights do fit
