mk1rob Posted February 10, 2008 Report Posted February 10, 2008 Hi! I know this questions probably been asked a million times but i couldn't find it in search. Ive got some 7x13" superlights fitted to my mk1 escort but i think it sits abit too high. What would i need to do to lower it without the wheels rubing? Thanks
Guest MK1gaz Posted February 10, 2008 Report Posted February 10, 2008 Bend the top part of the arch lips up flush with the rear wings , fit 175/50/13's and that's it . Depending on your axle location you may need to get 5mm machined from the back of one of the rear wheels or do both of them
mk1rob Posted February 10, 2008 Author Report Posted February 10, 2008 Thats great! Thanks very much mate!
Guest MK1gaz Posted February 10, 2008 Report Posted February 10, 2008 Or buy 7x13's with the correct offset , so not superlites then !!!!!!!
nugget Posted February 11, 2008 Report Posted February 11, 2008 If you was to run 7x13's on a mk1 with 175 tyre's what would be the ideal offset? May get some on the van.
