Carl160180 Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 I personally think 215/40 16's are the best choice for mondeo wheel's on a escort Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

escortsinner Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 205/45s FTW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mar_k Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 why would you go for 195's as the correct 205's dont rub on escorts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hezz Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 why would you go for 195's as the correct 205's dont rub on escortscos if you go to them flashy fancy measurement websites it keeps the overall outside measurements more or less the same as a 195 50 15 tyre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red_diabolo Posted January 23, 2009 Author Share Posted January 23, 2009 thanks for all your replys guys, I only concidered a change in size as mine do rub on full lock and have see others with the smaller width and wondered why lol. They only rub on an inch square area on the metal chassis in the acrh so il jus cut it out with the angle grinder problem solved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muppje Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 I had 215/40's on my old Blue Escort, and they were fine lowered 40mm. On the Black Escort, I had 195/45's, they handled much better BUT were Goodyear's all round instead of budgets so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
