Title: alloy wheel sizes !
Post by dan_the_man on Apr 20^th, 2007, 3:59pm

Looking at purchasing some larger Alloys for my bus, I was wondering . I currantly have 15/205/60's fifteen is the rim size in inches . two hundred and five the wheel width in mm and sixty is WHAT ! I measured it at approx 100 mm . looking at seventeen 40's on the net. will they fit or would my speed'o' be incorrect. please correct me if I am mistaken on my measurments ::) also if anyone could guess what my insurance company are likely to want as extra premium , that would be nice. cheers folks .

hi dan

60 is a percentage of the width of the tyre.

have a look at this page (http://www.fordscorpio.co.uk/alloyoptions.htm).

pcd 4x108 offset 35-42 bore 63.4 these are the specs for the scorp wheels, mk1&mk2 mondeo wheels are the same. any wheels that fall beetween the 35-42 offset will be a straight fit. so if you are looking on ebay for wheels type i mondeo, there are several on there at the moment.

nice looking wheels yes these will fit no problem. however the spare will not fit in your boot well. seems like a bargain though, good luck on the auction.

I'll probably keep the origional spare in the boot and hope not to need it ! ;)
