as above i no the later shape ford wheels have larger holes where the wheels sutds go becase of the nuts used of later cars

is there a comon way around fittilg later shape rims

E.G. mondy 16's 5 spokes

without daoing a hub conversion.....longer or bigger bolts?????

see alot of motors driving aound of diamond cut rs 7's ect just wondering

 

you can either buy new bolts with the correct fitment on them or you can just buy the washers. grayston,demon tweeks,speedshack or any alloy wheel dealer will sell them. i got mine from speedshack

 

fookin mint i'll be doin thet washer thing

how much were that mate???

 

im gonna call speed shack what do i ask him for????

 

had no problems fitting 16" mondy rids on mine

 

just tell them what your trying to do and they will know what you want. they were very helpfull when i got my bolts

 

BOLTS ARE SHITE!!!!!



Replace them with studs. Safer and easy to remove and refit wheels etc..

jano do u sel the kits then???,

its only to fit a set of escort rs2k rims (there like 15's) on my darily driver, dont wanna mess about with hubs etc

 

hi lads i'm just about to try the conversion to studs. i've got the studs ready to fit i'm thinking you only need to drill the holes out to 13 mm then fit the studs from the rear till fully tight, then i was going to put a tack weld on them as a added precaution to stop them from moving does this sound right to you all

 

project rs

Thats excatly what you need to do pal. Dont need to weld the studs tho.



The studs can be found at any breakers yard on most late fords. Take a hammer and use an old nut wound on the thread a few turns, then smash it

 

nice any perticular car to take them from????

do u tap the hole or just drill it to 13mm?????

aint the original holes bigger then 13mm???

 

i just have the washers on mine to put the rs7's on

 

Bolts (H&R Quicksafe kit) with the big nuts for the rims:

 

Nice kit, but no way would i pay for them

Mk5/6 Escort.

Or the Transit has extra long studs if you need long ones for whatever reason.

so what about the drilling

 

hi again tried it out today and 13mm is the size needed to be drilled to. much easier to get the wheels on now no more messing around trying to line the holes up and getting the bolts in to keep it from dropping of should of done this years ago, this is the way to go mark cost me20 quid for the studs and allow an hour a corner
