That's because it isn't .

What size wheel are you looking at, or do you mean standard? The two would be different, unless you are fitting a 7x15 replacement .

std pcd is 4x108 same as most other fords.

the offset can vary depending on what width wheel you want to fit to the car

You will stand corrected then, as ALL YB Cosworth Fords are identical .

ET40 is okay for that width - although you may have arch problems on the front on a 4x4. Also you will be limited to running 225/35x17s, so I would stick with a 7˝ x 17 in ET37 to allow 215/40s, which gives you a much greater choice.

pmsl ive been looking for ages for 8 inch wide wheels so i can fit my brembo brakes and i dont think they will go behind 7.5 x 17"

the only other wheel i would consider getting is some 18" mo's which again would cause probs

fookin car looks like i will always have poxy std brakes lol

cheers guys.............matt

The XR4x4 is also 4 x 108 - you're not having a very good day are you?

Because I supply wheels as part of my living . I can state without fear of contradiction, that I have NEVER supplied any 4x4 Cosworths with a 4 x 100 PCD (as that would be pretty dumb, given that it wouldn't fit ).

I also happen to own a 4x4 Cosworth as well .

Next? (I think you should have given with some dignity when you had the chance ).

also given to Fords liking for keeping bolt patterns the same, i think you will find Most 4 stud fords are 4*108.
Mike i think you forgot to hand this out
