these wheels for my escort mk2 x pack

[fostersice]

ok been looking for wheels for my escort mk2 rs2000 x pack build

 

i found these but was unsure

 

then i found these and think they would look the nuts front has 2.5" dish

and rear has 5" dish

only problem is i would have to fit spacers as they are 30mm offset and i need 00 offset

 

also have to change 4stud to 5stud

your car, your choice, personally i think they are far too modern

 

I'm a traditionalist...

have to agree with RMS, they are too modern for my taste, i would go for summert a little more retro lookin

[zetecmk2]

[NeilT]

but i do love a deep dish especial on a x-pack!

[fostersice]

[john_3.0s]

I know i cant talk having modern wheels on mine n all but please keep it old skool! Given the choice, i would have revolution splitties on mine!

 

[hotrodholty]

i like the big jap/drift style wheels, that yellow x pack looks the tits, go for it bud

[LGreen]

in my opinion modern wheels can look good but you have o be very careful which ones you pick. as others have said its your car, do what you want. i do like the look of the wheels you first showed tho. other areas of the car would need to be more modern as well i think, like seats and stearing wheel.

5 stud? you all volvo'd up?

[fostersice]

ive got to fine a way of fitting 5stud to my 4 stud now lol

 

4 x 108 hubs to 5 x 114.3 wheels

 

there has got to be a way ? ANYONE!

[285Andy]

blimey! what size diameter are those how low can you run it? id have drop it down right over them wheels so make the rim look wider

[fostersice]

they are 9.5j x 18 on the rear

and 8.5j x 18 on the front

i only just dummy mounted that one to see how it looked

i have to fine a 4 x 108 to 5 x 114.3 20mm spacer for the rear

and im fitting the new coilovers to the front tomorrow so i can see what spacers i need for the fronts

 

i have 235/40/18 on the back for now but can go up to 266/35/18

with the 235 i can go lower by 2" if i want with out any probs on the rear.

 

well happy with them just need to get them fitted now

HELP.....

[Guest cortinamad-gonetoo]

they look ok its your choice your car

 

imho i would put oldskool style wheels on

 

but hey ive got fiesta pepper pots on a mk5 cortina

[fostersice]

i replace everything on the car new for old every nut bolt washer bushes replaced by poly bushes

coilovers in place of leaf and shock

rollcage not trim

and being painted in a 2009 rs focus green

 

old skool wheels wouldnt like right

 

if it was a flat front maybe but its not

 

plus £580 to have 15" wheels made plus tires V 18" deep dish inc tires £400

 

gives me the look i want plus more money to get in on the road.

[vibrating_Cake]

mint!!! i like em!

[LGreen]

that sounds like its going to be awesome. wheels will go well with that paint colour. will need some massive brakes to go behind them. Just wouldnt look as good with little drum brakes. sure youl have already thought of that tho.lg

[BIGKEV]

Looks the Muts Nuts mate - love those rims - these wide arched escort thingys are catching on arent they lol

[LGreen]

Where did you get those wheels from?they're well cheap! especially for 18"

[fostersice]

a very good friend of mine got them for me

[stephens_xpack]

Be sure to post pics when finished, should look shit hot !!
