Help - Wheels , Offset and tyres

[Stopher]

Hi Gang, looking for some advise on what tyre and wheel specification to run on my Mk1 Escort. I really want to run the same set up as the picture below, which i am fairly sure is on 6" Minilites, does anyone know or have any pictures in terms of offset and tyre size. Cheers

Bottom are 'Minilite Sports' and were originally made from aluminum, while Minilite were made from magnesium. Today, they make the original Magnesium style wheel in aluminum.
Sorry probably just some useless information.
Not sure if width and offset are the same in both pictures.

Thanks for the reply James... really trying to determine tyre size and offset. I think they look great!

They'll more than likely be 6x13, ET+19, 185/60 or 185/70 13's.

And I have a set of 4 rally design minilite type alloys in 6x13, ET+16 I believe, and a set of decent 175/50's for sale.

Hi Mex, very interesting. Do you have any pictures?

[meXEco]

£200 + post for just wheels, or £350 + post with tyres-can get pics of tyres if interested but in loft at dads house-think there's 2 new and 2 almost new.

[Stopher]

Hi Mex, would be interested in the wheels, if you can include the postage within the £200 we have a deal.

let me know your thoughts..
