            !!! It's an 18mm offset of a 6" wide wheel though, so they will clear the wheel-arch (bodywork) by 1/4" MORE than an 8" wheel with 40mm offest.

                Let me check again............

                You say 41mm offset is what you have, what is the the width of that wheel?

                    OK, I see the problem now LOL.

                    Just so that you know, myself and quite a few other peeps we're running Mk3 Escorts (and Mk4), on Sierra 2WD & 4WD running gear with 8" rims fitted...........that was waaay back in 1986 - 1994.

                    Gartrac made it easy for us to do that, but sleepers they we're not.

                        think i might extend my arches to fit these in, mine weight 9.5 each, thats near 20 kilo saving
