as far as i know, in 16", they were only fitted to MK2 Mondeo Zetec and Zetec-S from new, so they will be all et40 as that is the correct offset for the MK2 Mondeo

Ben26

i only say this coz a mate thought he has a set on his FRST in a et20

m4rkl

you can get them in 7x16 et35. the et40 ones are only 6.5x16

Fiddy

maybe there were an option in different offsets for other cars ?. but the only car they were fitted to as standard was mondeos, and there defo et40, ive got a set i just had powdercoated white, as winter wheels for my car.

Ben26

I dont want to be rude mate but are you 100% on that as i need to know for sure.

I hope so coz then ill be on the hunt for the et35 ones

Ben26

yep there are 100% et35 7x16 ones ive got two sets for my track car.

they were fitted to mondeo's but were from the ford options catalogue for when people specced there new car up, ive got the brochure somewhere. most are et40 though.

ill try and find it.

bigal82

here you go you can just about make it out, et40 and et 35



can fit 195,205 or 215 on the et35 wheels.

ive got 205-45-16 on mine.

happy days ,nice 1 matey. du fancy sellin a set ?

bigal82

nope sorry mate took me 3 months to find a set as spare, i take a spare set for track days along with me with different tyres so i need them all but i will keep a look out for you.

alan.

Ben26

Fair play mate.
Thanks anyway

Im thinkin out loud now , but if the wheels are 7" wide with an et of 35 suppossed to the 6.5" and et 40 wouldnt they just stick out as much as each other as the et and width of each wheel cancel each other out

Please say that made sence

that would b the case if they were et45. Lower et means they stick out more (I've always thought its back to front ). I also found the 7j ones weren't really any good for rs turbos unless u roll the arches.

bigal82

the et 35 ones look slightly better i think as they have a more deeper dish look on the spokes, not much but a slight difference.

Ben26

I know how the offset works.

I need a set of these et35 wheels now !

ANYONE ?

RS SHORTIE

They would escos 8x16 not mondeo alloys

Ben26

na they are not ESCOS wheels he just got it wrong thats all
