Mick The Cabbie Posted March 23, 2008 Report Posted March 23, 2008 they gonna fit under the arches ok Gaz?Only once i've had an inch chopped out the rear axle or machined the backs down Anglia 105E axle. Then play around with various spacers till ya get em sittin just right Nice rims, should look the nuts! I'm with you on the painted silver look, it suits some cars (although not all) better than black & polished

Admin Vista Posted March 23, 2008 Admin Report Posted March 23, 2008 Gaz m8, it looks like the orange rs has it wrong am I right.. but why?Are they guna fit under the standard arches then mate? PM also sent That's my car, the wheels were for sale near me and they were never fitted to the car for anything other than a trial fit to see how they looked. Standard 7.5J X pack wheels on a standard car with standard axle & arches won't fit as that's what it comes out like: - crap. The other two examples shown look great and I'm assuming that they have modified the wheels to reduce the offset and pull them back into the arches as they seem to fit nicely.

PM also sent There's a few ways to fit them . Either shorten your standard Escort axle or fit an anglia one and push the wheels out with spacers . An anglia axle will need the leaf spring saddles moved to the escort position as well . On the front you can bolt them straight on but they stick out too much (well i think so) so you can machine the backs down or move your front struts in with various mods (adjustable top mounts + bottom arms etc ) or just fit 7 inch ones on the front

spitbarnatt Posted March 23, 2008 Report Posted March 23, 2008 Gonna look nice gaz. Got to be cheaper and less hassle to have the wheels machined though, no matter how much the purists want to cry about it! I do fancy a polished set on mine with some stretched 175's. You'd better fit some cheap 'nankang nogrip' tyres or you might be waving goodbye to them halfshafts. That Fiesta is King gorgeous! Are they 175 50's?
Guest MK1gaz Posted March 23, 2008 Report Posted March 23, 2008 You'd better fit some cheap 'nankang nogrip' tyres or you might be waving goodbye to them halfshafts. Hi Steve , i'm going to put them in the loft until the winter and wait until i've got a proper axle first before fitting them . With the extra tyre width on the ground my shafts will explode for sure as it's touch + go all ready with the non-grippy 175's !!!!!!!!
spitbarnatt Posted March 23, 2008 Report Posted March 23, 2008 No mate 195/45's dunlop s2000 They look spot on, well the whole car is! Dear Derdrie, I have fallen in love with a Fiesta.

Toby Posted March 23, 2008 Report Posted March 23, 2008 they will look good gaz on the back of the AA truck when your shafts explode nice wheels thought mate Gaz, if you fit an anglia axle and those wheels then you're going away from the tried and tested quaiffe-everything's-made-to-fit-an-escort axle options, so whats the plan?
