7" wheels on a 100e

[bmxdave]

Has anyone ever gone that big?

 

The car has a mk1 Cortina rear axle. It has Escort steels atm and theyre 6" arent they? I was planning on 6" alleycats up front and 7" RS 4 spokes out back.

 

Would i have to narrow the axle or roll the arches, and has anyone done it before?

i had 8inch deep dish on a 100e matey sat lovely did'nt stick out and 7inch on the front

Was that made to fit in anyway or just bolted on.

 

It didnt look like there was a massive amount of space tbh.

I woud say the cortina axle is to wide, use a 105e axle, you will have to change the spring mounts, the 105e ones are to wide and in the wrong place. I've fitted 7'' wolfrace slots with 205/60 tyres, reccommend a 'A' frame or some tramp bars to stop the body from moving side ways when cornering
