what profile tyre are used on mondeo alloys ona fez? 205/40/16? and do they rub? are spacers needed? if no rubbing what can you lower it by as i would like to see some pics?

 

205 will rub. best off with 195's

i have 195's on mines, and there is not even a fingers width from the tyre to the rear shocks

 

195/45 x 16's

 

mine rub a fair bit on 195s

 

is it ok to lower it 30mm without rubbing?

 

do the arches aswell if you plan on lowering it.

if not, the wheels will "modify" then for you, and thats not good fooked tyres, and fooked front wings

 

is rolling enough?

 

hi there ive just fitted the alloys to my fez you will need to use 195/45/16 tyres. then give demon tweeks a call and ask for a pair of eibach pro spacers you will need 15mm spacers with these fitted you get no rubbing on the suspension at all. if you lower it you will have to roll the arches on the rear and remove the front arch liners. by the way the spacers will cost you 92 quid dam site cheaper than coil overs.

 

It depends which offset of rim you get. They did the 16" Mondeo rim in ET35 and ET40. ET35 is easier to fit IMHO. Didn't use any spacer at all on my bro's car and just had the arches rolled. Being the young lad he is he slammed the thing into the weeds

 

Ive had to use 10mm spacers on the rear of my frst. i got the front arches rolled at extreme in harlow.(not a good job done to say the least). mines lowered 50mm and rolls on 195/45/16. get obvious scrapes when poodling along but only when the rim is outside the arch. might av seen mine about in London Beach (Southend) or romford... mercury grey, morrettes mondy rims and slammed.hope this helps.

 

i got my wheels of a v6 mondeo on an l plate would that help to recognise the ofset?

 

iirc the offset is either stamped on the front of the wheel under the centre cap or on the back of one of the spokes.

 

thanks for your help keep you informed

 

aye it should be under the cap mate - where the nuts are!

 

whats the best offest to get then as im after a set in the new year?
shock clearance etc isnt a prob as i have coiloves and the arch's have been done anyway.

im guessing ET35 yeah?

didnt even know fords done 2 different offsets.

anyone got the part number for the right wheel so i can check on price and if you can still get them

 

ive had a look and they're et40 so willi need spacers etc?
