    rims/tires

    anyone know if all stock rims are the same on escorts? One of my steel rims is dinged up on my 1993 4dr lx. To save money I was thinking of going to the junkyard to find one..of course it would be cool to find some GT rims!

      yeah, except for the fact that 91-93 LX are 13" wheels and 94+ are 14" (excluding Pony and GT models).

          stock steel wheels off of any 90-94 protege or 323 should work also

          just make sure you get the same size (13 or 14), i'm not sure what atomic said is true... i think only the Pony's got 13" wheels but it has been a while & i could be wrong

              all 91-93 LXs had 13s, yo. also, you should probably specify Protege DX, since I'm pretty sure the LX got 14s stock.

                the tires on there now are 13's , so I guess I have 13 in rims. I should match that, unless I replace all 4. then I'm guessing the 14's would fit?

                  I tried to put the alloy rims from our 99 mazda protégé DX on it because the tires are great, but they didn't fit. They are 15's

                    If I upgraded to larger rims, would I have to increase size of rotors too ? to 14 or 15? , guess that would mean different calipers too. ?

                      Yes but all of this stuff can be had from the junk yard no problem.

                        what? no, you don't have to change the size of the rotors if you're changing wheel sizes. rotors/pads/calipers have to match, though.

                          Cool, Thanks for the info. Guess I'll go look around, or check craigslist for rims. Anybody find any cheaper aftermarket rims ? most seem too costly for a "grocery getter" like mine.
