not really into escorts but have to ask...how the hell did he get 8" wheels on that car all round? what type of offset would it need for the fronts?
and anglia/shortened axle? would love 8" minilites for the sunbeam have 2 proper magnesium wheels from my rallying days they are a mighty looking wheel.
what size of tyre are we talking here as well?

needs bigger tyres - low profiles just do not work on old motors. As soon as the tyres are burnt off my B proper sized tyres will be going on.

those rims are ET 0. look like 175/50/13s stretched to fit. i'd say the arch lips have been modded, but I recon there would still be contact.

is it possible they are et -1 or am i wrong that you cant get that type of offset on wheels,just is amazing theres 8" wheels on the front of a escort and you would sometimes struggle to get 7" wheels on some of them. very nice car im really liking the style,not your usual escort!
