Go to scarpyard and get 185/60/14 steel wheels and part worn tyres. much more cheaper to buy brand new than the 13" tyres. I have just recentley replaced all four tyres on my 96 escort, cost me £20 for four tyres, 2 are brand new and still have the lines around them, and £5 to my mate at his work for fitting.....

yes they will go on but the rolling radius will be alot smaller so the speedo will be out a little bit, ok for a short period of time.

As poloscunny says, get some 185/60/14s and rims off a scrapper.

nearly all mk6 escorts come standard with 14" wheels..........

.... or 15" alloys :)

It's like a FEOC reunion

I run 165/60/13s they're nice actually, with an 8P box it feels just right. Speedo is over by about 8-9% tho...

i think he was on about tyres for his escort

oh i see.

isn't this a polo forum?

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

true but I'm sure there are peops like myself that like polo's but have other cars.......
