Will i need to get any spacers or anything like that if i am going to buy 15's for my car? is it a safer bet to go with 14's ? . I dont really wanna go 14's...so...all advice is appreciated

I've got the same car and i have also fitted 15" alloys on it. it's lowered 35mm too. It's identical to the 3 door in terms of the way the wheels are laid out as they have the same chassis. I have 15s from an escort RS2000 on mine and they rub a little on the inner arches. spacers sorted that tho. I also had some TSW stealths on it before that and they never rubbed. I think the aftermarket alloys are spaced out a bit further from the hub so that they don't rub on the arches when u put em on. Hope this helps

My FRST has 15" alloys and is lowered 60mm. It catches on the arches now and again but im rolling the arches next week. 15's will be no problem mate.

my 5 door had 15's on and it was lowerd 90mm front and 120mm at the back on AVO coil-overs.

No rubbing

I remember your 5 door well, inspried me with my old 5 door, how come no rubbing? what rear arch mods u make and how did you hide the mods without the RS arches?

[cubby240]

Just removed the lip from the inside of the arch and cut the bumprt right back. i had RS1800 drums which have a different offset (closer to the shock) and the wheels were 6x15's with 45's.

Hey cubby, was it u who said that your bodyshop did a 5 door skirt and arch kit for a 5-door fezzie? If so i'd be very interested if u could email me some pictures of it and prices as i'm just about to hack a perfectly good set of xr2i ones to bits and 'make 'em fit'!!!

We orderd one 3 months back but it hasn't arrived yet, the factory is out of stock. However, we sold one about 4-5 months back and i dont think the guy has fitted it yet so ill get a pic of it by the end of the week.
