Title: What sized alloy wheels will fit Scorpio?
Post by mondeoman on Apr 24^th, 2011, 1:34pm

I was wondering if a set of 215/40 17 RS alloy wheels will fit ok on the 2.3 Scorpio? I was wondering if the car might be to low down? I think these have been fitted to a Sierra.

Cheers,

Simon

If you look here you'll see some options:

At the top of the page you'll see a link to a calculator that will give the deviation that will affect the indicated MPH.

My suspention sits low on the rear, previous owner must have loaded the boot with bricks or something.
Tried to put sports aloys on with 205/55/16 and where rubbing on the back wheel trims. The sports aloys make the wheels stick out about 2inches further. so now got a decent set of sports aloys with 2 new tyres and 2 verygood condition tyres if any one is interested £120.

Big rims, low profile, wide tread = expensive tyres :o

225/50x16 @£80-£90 a corner is enough for me ;)
