escort mk1 Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 Im looking at buying some 13" tridents but not sure if they will fit? They are the same stud pattern not sure how wide. the tyres are p185/70 r 13. Do you reckon they will fit on my mk1 without flares no trouble. I really dont want to damage the guards so i need to be sure. lol. Heres a picture anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raizer Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 Should get 185s under a mk1 with no problems, my 205/60/13's only just rubbed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sholdowa Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 You might have a problem if you're lowering it a lot. They look like they've got quite a big offset. The early Mk.1's had much less of an offset and fitted under standard wings much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
htwn-escort-boy Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 yeah i got 185's under my standard guards, then i lowerd it and had to roll the guards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
escort mk1 Posted November 19, 2006 Author Share Posted November 19, 2006 So were they fine before you lowered it? How much to roll guards? Are your mags 7" wide? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corrupt Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 a friend has 7" hotties with 205/60/13s, with kings in the front and 2" blocks in the rear i think, it rubs alot. im sure that those tridents which are 6" with 185s wont rub at all at standard height and there wont be too many dramas if you lower it, might only need to bend the little lip up along the top part of the guard carefully with pliers if anything.
