will; these fit my car?

Hi all,

following on from yesterdays thread about looking for some alloys.

I was wondering if these would fit.

I currently have some ford four spokes from the donor escort with 185/70/13 tyres on

will these be a direct replacements?

The PDC is right, but the offset is same as for a Sierra. I think the Escort may be different.

no good im afraid, wheels size you need is 6x15 ET19

any Higher with the offset(ET) an the rears will rub on the trailing arms, lower ET would be better, as th ewheels will fill out the rear arches better, not sure how a lower offset would affect the fornt though

Some 20mm spacers on the rear would help

You'll have to remake your front wing brackets whatever you swap to. Ray your eye is making my eyes water, I've slowed it down a bit Rescued attachment eyeflash.gif

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Are u escort live axle?? If you are they ofset will be wrong. THeyl touch the trailing arms. Spacers will sort it though.

Should fit other wise. Nice looking wheels aswell.

Don't go for spacers - dreadful things unless you have expensive hubcentric one's. You need to get Peugeot fitment wheels to give you the right offset but ask them to put Ford fitting spigot rings in them so that the centre bore will be correct.
