Default Mk1 XR2

Hi just asking for a mate...

He has OZ superturismos on his XR2 but is looking for some cheap 15 - 16" ford alloys to run over the winter. Which ones will fit? I.e sierra, mondeo, escort, focus etc.

Thanks,

Chris

think you'd struggle to get 16's under there. smaller profile tyres are worse in bad weather. get it back on 13 inch pepperpots with a 186/60/13 tyre

Yea 16s would scrub. I'm suprized the 15s haven't caused him probs. You can pick up as clean set of pepper pots with good tyres for around Ł80.

Arches have been rolled he runs 16" super ts at the moment. It's in getting painted at the moment but out in the near future. I'd have pepperpots personally but he's not keen

If the wheels are ford 4 stud then they will fit. Is this a white mk1 xr2 with a turbo lump in it?

No mate it was a White xr2 with an RS2000 engine. It's coming out either focus RS green or ST orange depending on what he decides after it's been prepped.

So all ford 4 studs are the same offset?
