10" wheels at the front...... any probs??

[sambo]

I'm a little concerned about getting my wheels to fit? I just want to prepare for the future and get some advice.

 

who has run 10" wide wheels on their car? Mk1 escort with bubbles?

Im worried that they might be too wide for the front arches (15" diameter)

The offset is 5 1/4" from the outer hub face to the outer rim

and 4" from the inner hub mounting face to the rim edge.

 

Can anyone confirm that these wheels will fit and that they wont tram line too badly with 235 rubber on them?

Also, Do you reckon a baby atlas will be narrow enough? I cant offer the wheels up to the car yet as my studs are group 4 and the wheels arent

 

P.S pics would be cool too!!

would be bloody hard to steer! probably put the rack under a LOT of strain too...

Didn't Ben Morley run 10" wheels on his old mk1?

The front wheel tubs will need modifying to get anywhere near full lock
