can you fit 265 tyres fitted to 14x9.25" wide rims under the rear of an EF wagon ? reason is, i would like these drag rims like i had on my EL fitted to my EF wagon ! not everyones taste but i love them and have a plan but must go under cleanly as i load it up ! :mrgreen:

ps, the ones i am looking are ford centrelines and pre AU offset :scratch:

( i get the pre au bit but still unsure if they will go under cleanly !)

Well Phat_EL has 255 rubber underneath his EB Wagon and that things just about as low as u can get, so i dont think 265s would be much of a problem

it will depend on the offset.
if it starts tucking tyre you'll likely have clearance issues.

I had 285 under my wagon ef 18 x 9.5 - Was very close but of rubbing tho

but they were on AU offset wheels.

No spacers needed all round tho

Posted: **January 15th, 2011, 5:30 pm**

Id be going for just some silver widened EF/EL steelies with huge rubber under the rear.

Posted: **January 15th, 2011, 7:32 pm**

nah, need bling for promo vehicle ! :cool:

bugger ! dinner got shouted and missed the end of those rims on ebay ! :banghead:

other ones are still ongoing though but not split sizes front/rear !

Posted: **January 19th, 2011, 12:26 am**

New Era Simmons will fit and look the best

Posted: **January 20th, 2011, 9:30 pm**

well, both sets are back up again on ebay, sad that people get messed about on that bloody website ! :banghead:

anyway, i've been spending some time on the old girl recently bodywise, stripped bump strips off and pinstriping etc.... buffed with G3 ferecla and gave it a polish !
fitted new mirrors and indicators as they were stuffed, she is now looking very clean apart from a dent (soft shallow) on drivers wing which is annoying... also got a couple of bits of surface rust to deal with but they're nothing !

still need to spend some money on ac compressor and getting regassed as its hot as helll at the moment and i go into peoples houses moist and uncomfortable !

next is some new bushes as it has a slight lhs clunk when a pothole is hit so i reckon anti roll bar as the steering is spot on.
next will be to get lowered and new wheels and exhaust.... probably about a grand but its too good a car to throw away cheap...

pics to follow soon ! she's looking good but plain ! :cool:
