I went for 6 inch because they wont contact any part of the body under all suspension movements and wont have to be cutting any panels. I also couldnt get a decent offset to fit 7's on the rears in a 15 inch rim to fit over the rear falcon disc brakes. 7's contact the bleed nipples on the calipers and even if i had shortened them, i was then going to have an issue with the hand brake cable actuator. Bugger
Plus i had only recently purchased new 15 inch Toyo T1R's because it is less expensive in the long run if im going to be trashing tyres. It all kinda made sense.
I'll be tucking the rears right under those guards shortly. Id love to go to steel bubbles and fit 8's and 10's but i dont think i could bring myself to cutting this body.

So what are the rims costing you... I am thinking of getting the same..

$1044 for the rims including the extra for the colour coating, refit of my current tyres and balance, wheel nuts, caps, etc. They have a 3 to 6 week delivery time which is a bummer.

WOW!!!!!! They look nice in that colour on your car! Big thumbs up.

New wheels on. Next is drop her butt down next weekend.

I've been playing with Mk1 Escorts for 37 years. That is one of the best presented cars I have seen. Just needs some bumperettes on the front. Congratulations.

It looks alright with those wheels. Should look even better when you drop the rear end. Who done your paint work? Its heaps clean..

Thats looking great longboy.

Mate that looks awsome... it really does. I'll have to come and see it one day. I wont have My escort repaired by the 26th or the cruise [xx(] Mate those rims look awsome and suit amazingly. When its dropped it should look tops [;^)]

Almost ready for performance mods Josh[;^)]
