Hehe, of the rims get too big, the car will become a Pimp my Ride with bag suspension bouncing in the carpark lol, or it can be a 4wd by the looks of it.
The above pic is right on the edge of wheel biggness, no bigger .. Just hope it doesn't have CD size rotors behind them 🤣,


Yep agree, cant stand huge wheels with stock tiny brakes.

15s are the limit on size wise for a escort.

What is the attraction of fitting oversize wheels on cars? Considering the loss of engine torque to the road and adding lot's of additional weight and increasing bump steer and wear and tear on steering and suspension components designed in the 1960's.

to impress the chicks of course Peter!
Torque we can get around, with engine upgrades, and heaps of $$ gets you forged rims, without the weight penalty.
I dont think 12"' rims cut it anymore on an Escort.
Agreed too, 15'is fine by me.

When I was knee high to a grasshopper a very wise man told me:
"If it has tits or tyres, there's trouble".
 
At the tender age of 58 I am still learning that exact lesson.....
