Default Transit connect/ ST225

Dose anyone know if the wheels are interchangeable. Focus and connect are both 5x108. But it seems the focus has m12/1.5 studs and it looks like the connect has m14/1.5 studs.
I’m sure people fit ST wheels on connect vans

The wheels are off a 2013 connect but looking into it more the later connects have the m14 studs. I think I’ll be ok now. The wheels must be reps and not genuine Ford. So should go straight on my car

I'm sure I read some where that the wheel stud pattern on the msrt connects is different to normal Fords. I'm sure they are 5x112 not 5x108. I could be wrong though.

The connect is 5x108. The transit has a different pattern.I think my wheels are replacers as well. They came off a 2013 connect.

Had me worried there lol. Just measured across the stud holes there the same. I’m not even sure if there connect MSRT or connect RS. It’s really hard to find a set I’ve been looking for ages. I think there look wicked on the focus

So as far as the wheel fitting with the correct bolt pattern looks correct. The only issue again is the possibility of the M12 lug stud instead of the M14's. The larger Transit vans have a 5x160 bolt pattern. I would however test check the tires while driving. take some tight curvy roads to test the flex or over flexing with the tires. They may not be load rated for the van. If so, they will over flex and feel sloppy while taking curves. Plus check the wheel for it's load index. yes I understand you're wanting to put TC wheels on your ST.. But these wheels do not look stock for any TC's I've seen. You sure the wheel cap is legitimate for that wheel?
There on a few Connects I’ve seen. I don’t know anything about connects. No idea if it’s a RS a MSRT or a sport. I just like them so there going on my focus. They will fit I’ve checked everything now.

I know the transits and the tranny customs have a different stud pattern.

seems all connects have 5x108 and transits are 5x160. The wheels I have came off a 2013 they only come in 5x108. Seems 5x112 is Ford Granada and Galaxy
