Yes the rims on rear in picture have 225/50/15 rubber on them, front 195/50/15. I kept the rims for my other Escort, I sold it with the Ghia rims as Dave said. Rhys

quick update, fitted a new 2 inch exhaust system and got rid of my big milo tin exhaust tip, and got my new starter motor, alternator reconditioned,and new battery also had a problem with the gearshifter coming entirely out of the box, damn nylon threads, think its time for one of those quaife short shifters, all metal  ah the never ending fun of old cars, still you gotta love them :)

tax time so ive decided to spend some more cash on it, finally decided on getting some bilstein shocks all round, and gonna do either a nolathane or superpro bush kit through the car, and also buying some dba slotted rotors and some heavy duty bendix pads, and if i have any cash left over get some new leafs for the rear and get rid of the chopped springs in the front, hopefully will feel like a hole new car after all this [:x)]
