problems with fiesta alloys on escort van
Bought some 4 spoke 14 inch mk4 fiesta alloys to fit on my 97 escort van.
Had a nightmare getting the back two to fit & had to wet & dry round the wheel hubs to get them on.Fronts went on fine(or so i thought) went to drive it this morning & it didn't want to move.The front wheels are tight against the calipers
I'm really not very technical so hope someone can help.Is it down to offset difference on fiestas & escorts?
I've just looked on ebay & seen you can get spacers to fit.Will this cure the problem? if so what mm spacers should i get? I really like the look of these 4 spokes.always remind me of the old RS 4 spoke alloys & would like to keep them on the van if poss.
Thanks,Simon.

thanks for that 1-pd
would i have any problem with clearing the front wings with larger rims?
I've noticed my steering is heavier with the 14's(no p/s)although it was heavy enough before.does it get heavier the bigger the wheel?
