series 1 4x4 cossy

[cutch]

New stickers on



And one wheel on as it was pishing down as per usual!



19 years I have been waiting to get those wheels on the car!

Got the rest of the wheels on today.





Don't know why but I'm not feeling it? I think they look smaller than my RS7's? Think they may be up for sale shortly....

I dont dislike them on the car but i know what you mean.... They were made for the Escort cossie and suit them so well. Whats the offset on them and width?

[cutch]

They are 7 inch wide and I think they are 27et?? But I can't remember to be honest..


Well I thought I would dig out my old wheels that were originally on the car. Literally had to dig them out of a bush, they had been in there for the past 4 - 5 yrs!!

My little girl gave them a clean



As I said, they'd been in there a while! Had stuff growing on them...



Now I had to check the wheels went over the cossie brakes, even with a flat tyre which didn't help.



Fill the arches quite well





Rears were ok but the fronts don't fit.



Calipers touch the back of the wheel on the fronts..



Now it looks like I may need to cut out about 10mm from the back but I'm a wee but worried that I could lose strength in the wheel...
