Been looking around for replacement wheels for the ST200 and got a couple of sets which aren't bad priced and aren't too far away, but they're not off Fords.

1st set is from a Citroen C2 VTS
2nd set is from a Pug 306

Just seeing if anyone in the know could tell me if either of these would bolt onto my MK2 Mondeo alright??

Would the offsets not be different?
If your interested I have a set of mondeo 16"x7" five spoke alloys for sale in the wheels and ice section.

 

I got a set of 17" RS7 spokes going mate

 

They will bolt on but in general the Pug Rims have a lower offset of ET15 or summit like that.

 

Citroen offset is 15-28, 306 is 13-18, and a mondeo is 35-38, so they won't fit without sticking out a bit!

 

I appreciate the wheel offers guys, but the cars got 17s as standard and if I change the wheels then I want to move up to 18" to try and fill the arches a little more.

Hmmm looks like the Pug ones are kinda out of the question then.. I've always thought that the Mondeo wheels are a bit tucked into the arch at the back, so am I right thinking that the Citroen C2 ones might bring them out a wee bit without the need for spacers?

Depending on what the exact offset of whatever wheels you choose are. The lower the offset, the further they will stick out.

Only way really would be to try them on and see if they catch the arch or anything!

 

i'm after some 15" six spokes but can't find any local/reasonable!

 

Cool, best of luck with that.

Thats the best idea Rich, will try organise a time to throw them on and see if they're gonna work or not. Appreciate the help with offsets etc.

No prob mate, have a look on www.alloyguide.com

Tells you everything you need to know

 

i dont think 18s fill the arches mate

heres mine on 18s when i got it, i then bought a cheap set of 19s which fit much better and fill the arches

18s


19s



and my escos rims even though the rears 5rubbed like a bitch and theystuck out the arches at the front lol

 

The 19s look waaay better... bollox!! Its been hard enough trying to find a cheap set of 4x108 in 18s but I'm really gonna struggle getting hold of some 19s for minimal wonga.

Whats your car lowered on? It sits really nicely.

tbh i have no idea as i bought it with teh 18s on already done, i think its a 30mm drop maybe 40

i picked the 19s up for less than £200 off ebay, then had the powdercaoted matt black as they were chrome lol

 

Take a look here as I may be tempted to sell these:

as Wes has decided that he doesnt want them after all!!

 

Haha yea chrome wouldn't have looked too special... the black suits the silver and thanks for the pics, they've screwed up the 18" idea nicely.
