Guest El87cabi Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Heya, I'm running 16" Stealth's on my cabi, with Yoki Parada Spec 2's, size 205/45/16. No arch mods, no rubbage, cars dropped 30-40 mm on Koni's. Just so you know btw, Escort Cosworth wheels are a different offset to the mk4 'scort so they will protrude out a bit, they fit the mk3 better, you can cut and roll the arches to help this plus fit 40 profile tyres but with the 40 profile you'll have a harsher ride and more chance of damage to the rims Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest El87cabi Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 i'll be having my rim's off soon to do the brakes, will try to remember to post the et numbers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshlad Posted February 23, 2015 Author Share Posted February 23, 2015 Either way they are def getting fitted lol id like to put em on with out messing around but after countless searches its prob the only option, and the ride cant get harsher than it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest El87cabi Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Ok but your messing around is gonna be a sod, escort cossie offset is an ET25 not to mention it's an 8J width, mk4 escorts can accommodate ET40-ET35 max, lower the number the further the wheel will sit out. If your wanting a ford rim thats practically identical and will fit correctly look at the Mondeo 16" they come with either Et35 (more desirable) or the more common ET42, with the latter you can just add a small spacer but it's not essential Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Tee Morrison Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 I have 16x7.5 ET30 with Toyo T1R's on my mk4, lowered 30mm with no issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest El87cabi Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Fair point, the wheel will mount to the car, i've seen dozens of mk4 rst's with cossie rims, they all sat visibly wide. Depends on how you drive the car in regards to rubbage, i know for a fact i can hit speed cushions without having to worry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
