great that has helped a lot, as i was looking at 12mm spacers on ebay which seemed to bring the wheel out if you know what i mean, now i know they are 12mm washers that helps loads. and fit between the hub and calliper.

so i can look for these now, i also understand i must drill the hub holes out to 12mm as thats what the mondeo callipers are.

and i now understand i need M12 bolts that are 40mm long and 10.9 grade in strength
are these blots ok: LINK

also if I'm using the standard 15" wheels and shaving off the areas I've found in a guide, will it be weakening the callipers??? the ridges on metal that protrude strengthen metal, and I'm concerned about this.

maybe a wheel space might be a good idea bringing the wheel out a little to save grinding the calliper?? then all i need is longer wheel bolts.

let mew know, i need your help guys as i going to do a step by step guide with photos for others here on using the standard wheels with this conversion if you want to help
