Wheel offset

Postby sk1300 » Tue May 03, 2011 12:05 am

Just want to know what range of offset people have on 13x7 inch wheels for Mk1 escorts?

What rubs with which size tires?

I think that pretty much anything in a 13x7 will rub on a standard guard, particularly on a MK1.

I've got 15 x 7 with +15 offset and they just touched so had to fold the inner lip under, so you should be able to get 13 x 7 to fit, hopefully.

I have 13 x 7 hotwires with 205/60/13 tyres on my mk 1
to make them fit you need to do the following
machine the backspace to 110 mm
fit 2" coil overs
twin cam lips on the front
roll the back guards
