Title: Wheels for estate model
Post by Fiestaxr2 on Oct 10^th, 2004, 3:49pm

Hi.
As mentioned earlier I just bought my Scorpio estate.
With the car there came some summer-rims...?
It was 8,5x17" Zender rims.. with 235/45 ZR 17 tyres..
I don't need to mention that these tyres had ripped of the front bumper, side clips.. As they are to big for the car.
Any recomendations on wheels for the car?
16" or 17" or maybe 18" 8)
I any case what size should the tires be?

I don't know the ET type of the rims.. but the car had 5mm spacers on the front, which usually means the rims are to wide. >:(
To bad, because they looked mean and cool at the same time.
Also, the car seems to be lowered a little, because it's very stiff when driving.

Yeah, Granada Est 1992..
Here in Norway the Granada was named Scorpio since the beginning of 1986, when the Scorpio came..
First I look for recomended wheels..

As we can imagine the freight alone will certainly be enourmus for 4 wheel with tyres.. So I will wait as long as possible before ordering/buying from overseas.

Your right of course we still had Granada but the word Scorpio at that time was a discroption of the Spec. the 'Ford Scorpio' came out in mid 1994 or there abouts and the Granada was dropped and not putting down the Grannada but that was also dropped,

THe Granada and Scorpio are today two very different cars.
