Hey guys,
I have a 1972 mk3 Cortina which was running unknown 13" chrome wheels with 185/70/13 Goodyear tyres, but as the tyres worn out I managed to get my hands on a mint set of Cobra Super Slots with almost new 205/60/13 tyres, on putting these on they was rubbing the arches, mainly front, but the car was set pretty high with the softest suspension i've ever seen, so I got a set of Gaz shocks & springs, set them to hardest setting & also fully polybushed, this has stiffened it up but also lowered it abit and the tyres are now rubbing all round!!! Does anyone know if I change the tyres to 185's if this will sort it? Any info would be much appreciated, thanks alot people

 

it should help putting 185's on , i love slots on old fords

 

Cheers mallspeed, think I will have to give the 185's a go, I just don't wana pay out for new tyres & find they still rub because its an offset issue!!!!!

Before the new shocks, springs and pollybush's.....it rubbed a little on the front wheels only, suspension was super soft tho!!!


After....ie now rubbing

 

The car looks nice m8 let me now how it go's ,,, iv got some slots on a mk1 escort v8 hotrod but iv jacked the back up , 70's look hehe

 

Love these wheels! great photos
