Ford rs wheels question
steve m - 17/9/10 at 10:16 PM

I have a set of these rs 4 spoke wheels,

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/FORD-CAPRI-LASER-ESCORT-ALLOY-WHEELS-RS-4-SPOKE-X-4-/190442462798?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item2c57415e4e r />

But could do with 2 with a greater offset for the back of my 7, is there such an animal out there, or are they all the same ch19 offset

regards

steve

If you mean "greater offset" e.g. bigger number like ET35 to sit further in, then no.

If you mean "greater offset" e.g. stick out more, then the 7J RS alloys have an offset of about 5, so stick out about an inch further (27mm).

the Fiesta 4 spokes (they are ET30 something IIRC)
They look exactly like the escort/capris items (IIRC ET 19 or thereabouts)
apart from looking less dished due to the offset differences

I have a set of 5 here and used them on my indy and can check the offset as they will no doubt be stamped (and required no extending of arches to fit...unlike the Escort ones I tried and had to abandon)
