7.5x13" JBW RS 4 Spokes

[BaileyMex]

Probably been asked a hundred times before, but anyone on here running 7.5x13's on an un arched MK1?

They are advertised as a minus -19mm offset 

Is anyone running these at all? And did you have to have the rears machined at all if running standard axle/drums etc?

I am running those with baby atlas though ,arch lips are slightly rolled 205/50/13s tyres

At factory offset, they won't fit with a standard axle Colin.

Might drop them an email to see if they can offer different offsets, don't want to change any or the original axle or touch the arches.

Do quite like the dish on them.

Had the same wheels on the car for nearly 20 years so fancy a new pair of shoes 😂

I test fitted a standard ford set to my RS about 15 years ago. They had 50 profile tyres on them but without lowering the car to the weeds, the arch gap looked ridiculous and I'm 99.9% certain they'd have rubbed horrendously.

Given their rise in value, I wish I'd bought them anyway, I just didn't have the funds at the time.

Sacked this idea off, may still contemplate the 7" versions in the future, but not right now.

Just looking forward to some dry weather, hopefully out for a blast Sunday to a local meet - fingers crossed
