13 X 6J RS Wheels Onto A Standard MK1 Escort 1100L

[72mk1escort]

As above really guys will they fit?

 

They are the type that take the cone shaped wheel nut.

 

Its a 1972 MK1 Escort 4 door 1100L (all standard)

 

Any help would be great

i guess you mean the 4 spokes?? yes they will fit no probs

[antz]

fit straight on

[72mk1escort]

Yes the RS 4 spokes as fitted to the MK1 RS2000's etc

 

Will they foul the rear arch over bumps etc

[antz]

nope.

 

they will only foul the front arches if you slam it 2 inches and have 70 profile tyres if you got 60 profiles itll be fine

[72mk1escort]

nope.

 

they will only foul the front arches if you slam it 2 inches and have 70 profile tyres if you got 60 profiles itll be fine

So will the wheels sit further in than the arches at the back so they will clear them?

[antz]

what you on about boyo

 

at the back your whels dont turn so itll be fine. the axle doesnt move (enough) and they are fine. even on a slammed car.

 

at the front they are fine with 70 profile tyres but if you slam it and use 70 profiles it will msot likely rub as remember your front wheels turn

 

 

 

if your gonna buy a set. BUY THEM, STICK ON SOME 185/60 RUBBER and slam the car on its arse. itll be perfectly fine

Basically what i mean is will the wheels sit further in than the rear arch lip or will they catch on bumps etc

 

Thanks for all the info so far.

[antz]

sit further in the arch lip than what?

 

just fit them and stop worrying

[glenbo]

mines lowered 2" and when going over bumps fast as you do the tyres used to rub the arches so i snipped the lip and bent it up and also fitted anti tramp bars,dont do it now

[bronze4door]

my car wax standard and they fitted straight on the rears did not catch the fronts only did on lots off lock and hard into a bend but that was on standard front sunspension with a dodgy bodged up anti-roll bar

 

when i put the mk2 legs on they were ok even hard into a bend

[richyc]

you will need unf nuts with tapper washers, may have to roll the rear arches as done to the rs 's. should be no trouble.
