two_days_late Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Hey bros, I've got these wheels for my Escort, they're 15x8 Superlites with a 4N offset. I haven't got or decided on tyres yet but I'm thinking I want something around a 40 profile and reasonably narrow. Main problem is fitting the wheels under the rear guards (there's a fair bit of room under the front). Is anyone else running 8's on the back of their Esky, and if so what tyres are you running and did you get away with just pumping the guard out and not having to flare it? I'm really hoping I can get away with just pumping the guard out, but ideally want to know if other people have managed it as I don't want to pump it out if I end up having to flare it anyway. Not that keen on narrowing the diff or anything at this stage (although there's about 2 inches of clearance still on in in side), as I really like the fat look if I can get away with it. Keen to know what you guys have done in this area! Cheers Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anton f Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 you may have to flare the guards out a bit on the back to fit those rims and tyres on.. how low is it the back? have you thought about getting some tyres stretched onto the mags so it fits in bit still have the look with the lip of the rims sticking out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
