[TH3MASK3DGUITARIST]

sounds sweet, what exhaust is it running, is it an 3" ashley?

@fsjgw

185/70 tyres have to big a diametre and would look a bit funny, u want 60 profiles.

ford themselves fitted 13" but they were offset further inboard like all front drive wheels, all rear drive wheels stick out further apart from sierra....I think.

[fsjgw]

@tpvalley have not fitted them (Capri wheels), but I do have another set of old skool BBS wheels with 185/70/13's on the car, and they do not rub. Dash still in car, rest of interior and windows removed, no rubbing, even up front with engine still in car, no rubbing. I have another Fiesta and previous owner had 13's on and he claimed it would rub, maybe he lowered the car?

[tpvalley]

@fsjgw

have u fitted them?

do they fit without scrubbing arches?

dont the stick out to much?

[fsjgw]

@tpvalley picked up two sets of 13's from a Capri Monday. Thanks

[tpvalley]

@rjduffell That is definately a MK1. Can tell from what I can see of the front grill. I miss my old MK1...they were fun cars.

[fsjgw]

Since 12's are getting hard to find, what size wheel and tire combination are people running on Mk1's? (Stock suspension). Thanks
