I noticed today that my Mondeo alloys are barely being held on by the wheel bolts (could almost pull through the holes in the wheels)!
I also realised that most Ford bolts are 19mm and my bolts are only 17mm, so I'm thinking the flanged part of the bolt will be bigger with 19mm and so fit the wheel better.

Has anyone else noticed that Mondeo wheels dont fit the bolts well, or is it just because my heads are 17mm and not 19mm?
The thread is obviously correct though

Cheers!

 

are you using ford wheel nuts as the ford ones are much bigger than aftermarket nuts???

 

They are not nuts mate they are bolts, and i'm using what came on the car so fuck knows! lol

 

Karlos speedshack sell the ones you need

 

You considered converting to studs karlos?

 

apparantly a special bolt is needed for these wheels and i bought miner at speed shack

 

As said above, speed shack sell em, it's the ghia bolts you need with the larger washer, just had to buy some for my rs 7's

 

a ford with bolts???

never knew that!!!

 

Speed shack it is then! Cheers Fella's!

 

The bolts you need, AFAIK, are what I know as a 'Ford Ghia' bolt. Like these.....

They are more abundantly available as a nut though.

 

Ahh sweet!
I'll try my local motorfactors first, if not Speedshack!
