Paulo Posted January 28, 2004 Author Share Posted January 28, 2004 if u increase the diameter of the wheel surely the wheel will tend to run more on the inside of the tyre? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phill Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 It will, but you can't adjust camber on an Escort, so you'll just have to live with it as far as I know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuball Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 Best with a full geometry check. Went through my first set of tyres in less than 3 months after i got my car lowered and my 17s fitted. *Note* This was a combination of the 2, because of the bigger wheels and the lowering!
