Read the build thread on my old sport I bought 7.5s off them but only 2 of . They work on the front with rolled guards but the rear is a big problem I was 2inch lowered on reset leafs and I stretched the inner guard as much as I could but they still rubbed with 185/60/13 rubber . I the end I took them back to change the boss suggested that I shorten my diff or buy a full set of brand new tyres 175/50/13 which is far to stretched on 7.5

 

I went on to tell him he was false  advertising that they don't fit a MK2 escort he took them back and swapped me for 7 inch instead. only go 1.5 inch lowered if you want to drive your car hard . 185/60/13 on a 7 inch rim will give you another inch lower on top of the 1.5 but still leave a bit of room for movement in the springs to have some fun when you drive

Thanks for all the positive feedback guys.

 

I am really just getting to know her at the mo and getting a list together of all the things that need attention.

 

Yes the car looks good and has been rebuilt, it just has little things that bug the shit out of me. Simple things like heater blower is constantly on low even when its turned off, temp gauge not working due to wire not being connected, r/f seat mount bolt has pulled through the steel, radiator has a small/tiny split on the bottom tank, front brake shudder, etc etc

 

annnnd it smells like a bloody ashtray!

Wheels are 13x7.5 -19 offset and the tyres are 175/50/13

 

The car is getting there slowly. Sorting through the mechanical issues and saving my money for the panel work.

 

Strange. I'm running 13x7 175/50 atm and mine aren't nearly as stretched as yours look..
