ok, iv been looking into buying a set of 17" compomotive rims for my S2 rs turbo. iv found a set possibly going cheap, but they are currently on a saphire cossie



my query is wud these share an offset similar to that needed to fit my s2?? as my car is quite low, so dnt want any scrubbing issues. already have 17s, but specifically mk4 escort fitment.

probably an obvious answer, but i thought id check to b sure. any info appreciated

 

Hello mate

ive got a set of TSW Imola's on my MK3 cabby, which came off a sierra, they went straight on (well when i say straight on what i really mean is i had to grind both the back arches out ) but this is fairly normal, won't be as bad on a MK4 though

If your still a bit unsure, go onto somewhere like rochford tyres website and they have wheel charts showing all the offset figures and so forth for loads of cars.

The wheels you are after should be PCD 108 and ET35 - ET45 offset. Most manufacturers have the same characteristics throughout the different models.

My wheels just for reference were ET35, ET45 will rub less on outer arches but it then raises the chance of rubbing on the inner arch.

Hope this helps?
