Wheel replacement to alloys

I have a set of 195 65 15 wheels from a mk 1 focus. Wondered if anyone has tried these if so have they fit. Asking before I try to spacer them to make them fit.

Can we assume that you are asking if your Mk1 Focus wheels will fit a Mk1 Ka?

You have my permission to assume that if you would like 🤣🤣🤣

I see the OP read your reply about 2 hours ago but was unable to clarify the situation. What was the question again ? 🤣

The wheels will fit.  But the tyres won't.  I don't think a spacer will help in this case but happy to be proved wrong.

Hi there For clarification the wheels do fit in the arches in both front and back arches however the fronts clip the suspension so unable to be turned. Wondered if the use of 20mm spacers give enough clearance for them to be used. Sorry for lack of info on the matter

Iirc the common size for standard Kas was 175/65x14, the Sportka used 195/45x16 tyres which obviously fitted a Ka arch, but the 195/65x15 is physically larger still. Depending on what set up you have at present you may find the speedo error is unacceptable, but you can check with various online calculators to compare the existing and proposed set ups e.g. :

https://www.willtheyfit.com/index.php?width=195&aspect=45&diameter=16&wheelwidth=6&offset=50&width2=195&aspect2=65&wheel_size=15&wheel_width=8.5&offset2=30

If you know the offset (ET) of your existing and proposed wheels (normally stamped on the wheel) it might give a clue as to spacer size required.
