91FordSierraGhiaLHD Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Hi all Just a query. I managed to source some MK1 Ford Focus MP3 alloys and wonder what do I require to allow them to fit to my 1991 Ford Sierra Ghia Hatchback. The wheel details are: Wheel width - 7 J PCD - 4 X 108 Offset - ET 41 Part number - 2S4J-AA Tyre size - 215/45/R17 The current alloys are 14" polished alloys. Wheel width - 5.5 J PCD - 4 X 108 Offset - ET 35 Part number - 6600269 Tyre size - 215/45/R17 Just looking at viability of these 17'' alloys as 'Summer' wheels. Fitted one to front RHS last night however the wheel was not wanting to work with shock absorber - tyre was caught under the S.absorber by a good 1 inch. Any ideas or is there no way of fitting these to the Sierra. If not, I'll just sell them with the tyres. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frembrit Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 By my crude calculations the inside edge of the wheel is now 26mm closer to the shock and hence why it is touching. The wheel needs to be moved out further with a spacer of somr sort but that will also push the the outerface of the wheel out further which may cause further problems. I've no experience of using spacers so hopefully someone else can advise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
91FordSierraGhiaLHD Posted October 1, 2018 Author Share Posted October 1, 2018 Thanks Frembrit. I agree but was hoping someone may have tried to fit said wheels in the past and if so, information as to what they did to make them fit - spacer width, did they need to roll arches, what length of bolts did they use etc?

martyntdci Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 purchase adapted hub spacers and a steering lock limiter, may cost around 200 pounds but you should get what your after. the bigger the et more inwards the tyre goes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
