Hi,am trying to find out the biggest tyre possible under the rear of a mk2 escort sedan with a standard 1350mm hilux diff and the leaf springs moved over (inwards),with abit of mini tubbing done.cheers

Bigger is not always best. Just think its going to make you higher off the ground and it going to make it heaver ectect.
I bought 265.50.15's to go under my arched MK2 and have realized these are too big and will be going with 225.50.15's

Mine is mini tubbed to chassis rail leaf springs moved in 10mm and ive got 17x9.5 on the rear with 255/40 tyres sitts good ive got a build thread in the projects section if u want tp have a look at the pics...

Could fit a 265 in there... Possibly a 275/50/15

Thanks for the help guys,hey esky79 how much shorter is the hilux diff???

My diff is heaps shorter then standard cus im runnin a 4inch back space on my wheels
So my diff was cut to suit the wheels i think its about 4inchs shorter then a std escort diff lol

Hey guys i have done some measuring up on my escort and have come to a conclusion.I aquired myself a b1800 diff which is 1360mm in width im having the axles redrilled to suit ford 5 stud pattern.

I'm going to run AU 15inch rims as it has more backspace than the EF/EL 15inch chaser style rims.

I easilly will be able to run a 235/60/15inch tyre under there.But im enlarging the well tubs so the rear of the car will sit lower with more wheel space aswell.But im also going to see if i can get a 265/50 15 under there but i think i will be very close to the rail....Will let you guys know how i go.cheers

Ok guys i slipped my courier diff under the escort.Left it 6 stud and i fitted a 205/65/15 inch tyre to the 15inch x 6.5 ranger rim.

I have some room and will be easy to fit my other 235/60/15 tyres under there.Will post up pics when its fully bolted up with the rims on and lowered.cheers
