Hi guys/gals

 

Anyone had or got these on their mk4 cab? google searches show that 195 40's are the tyres to go for and i might need to sort my arches out :sad: any help much appreciated. And has anyone used one of them arch rolling mechanical devices sold on ebay 121096655456

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

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

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 :drivin:
