With the lower profile tyre on a 15/16 your gearing wont change by much anyway... A type 9 or even fookin better type 9 straight cut gearset will give it the bollox, rapid acceleration on a 4.1 13 incher and cruise mode on the 0.82 overdrive...

Thanks marc, but i spoke to compomotive when i got the car about 10 years ago because i had 4 inners and only 3 outers they said they could make a one off up for me for about £500 .so instead they made a 2 piece outer to match for a bit less.i have since found a second set just in case !

But would a 195/50/15 give me a bigger rolling radius than a 175/50/13?

Yes it would, 195/50/15 is in fact almost identical to 175/70/13 (0.4mm bigger RR) in effect reverting your final drive ratio to what it would have been with the original tyres and diff.

Nice homework mate

Here ya go mate heres a handy tyre calculator:

 

http://www.tyresave.co.uk/tyresize.html

 

You can see theres only 4mm difference between 185/60/13's & 195/45/15's in overall diameter.

 

When fitting some 15's the fronts catch slightly on the lower front edge of front arch-the horizontal section that points towards inner wing-an easy job to sort though-quick nip & tuck.

 

I may yet sell mine as i couldnt get the right offset for my turreted rear end but i've redone that now so should have stock clearances back & may go back to 13's-thay are brand new-no miles-just trial fitted a few times-with brand new tyres also no miles-i'll let you know if i decide to sell.

Offset calculator also.

[wild pete]

why not just change your diff ratio, wud be cheaper

[DarrenM]

I would use a 195/45/15 instead of a 195/50/15 on a 7" rim on a MK1 Escort. The 50's look too big to me.
