Couldn't throw the tyres in Clivey but I could possibly have delivered and fitted them for you.

...and I'll buy Adams no-longer-required-8" rims. Sorted

Don't you love team work

Well, I just had another look at me Cornet, and I don't think 15x10's are gonna go under there as it sits. There's probably enough lateral room at the wheel lip and the spring, but only a finger's width between the outer shoulder of the tyre and the inner wheel housing, if you see what I mean. I don't want to be jacking it up or cutting sheet metal.

So... what I really need is a set of stock 15x7 Rallyes for the front - nobody's got a pair of those have they?

Well I will give it two or three months and if they don't sell I will just forget about it.
It is actually not as easy as some might think to get massive wheels and tyres like these under the stock bodywork without hitting anything. It is only when they try that they start scratching their heads and wondering how on earth......

I used to crave a X-pack Capri when I was young man.

NO NO NO Dave not an X PACK

The real deal was a SERIES X only built by ford main RS dealers only and only to order with the RS part's you ordered to go on it and there was lots to pick from The XPACK was a kit made by FIBERSPORTS who made the kit for ford. The car i had used ALL THE PARTS triple 42 carbs five speed limited slip anti dive 3100 Essex v6 with big valve heads Big brakes big wheels with 235/60/13"Tyre's Big arch kit 4 spoke RS steering wheel bi plane rear spoiler the hole lot

it cost £12,500+ in 1978/79

I still have all the bumff that came with it like the RS parts book and JACKET yes you even got a RS jacket with it too

Nope. I was right the first time.

When I was in my late teens my plan was to fit the x-pack kit to a stock Capri and fit a SBC or Rover V8.

Thank God I had no money to even attempt it.

Yes off the blue Challenger, I got them really for a 70 mach 1 - they need bigger tyres for the satellite.
