Hoping someone can help me out here! I know, literally, sod all about alloy wheel offsets. Can anyone a little more knowledgeable than me tell me if 16" TWS Hockenheims will fit on a Mk5 Escort?!?

8x16 will fit, but depends on tyre size and offset/et ask the guy what offset and exact size they are should be stamped in the wheel somewhere possibly where the 4 nuts are

Cheers Jimbo, apreciate it mate Have sent the guy a message!

RSNUT - think its best i have a read through that!!

They will be more than likely be 6.5J wide and ET35 offset which is ideal. I personally used to run 205/40 tyres

What car did they come off mate

Matt_16v

What car do you run them on mate?

I dont actually know what car they came off to be honest. It was just in response to a wanted ad i posted up, i did ask if they would go on a MK5 Escort and the guy said yes, they would go straight on. Wanted to get a second/third/as many as possible opinion!!

1.9 xr2 on 40's

when they make a while its blank do they can cut teh ofset and bolt holes to suit any car
tsw were pretty good so under the centre cao it'll say the et(ofset) and the stud patern too but chek them al, these wheels have been around ages so if you bent one you coudl get another and if you dont check it coudl be different ofset or stud or anything

i recently got some holks in ford fitment but they were pug (same studs but et is way low at 15 which makes them poke out liek hell on a ford) lucky i didnt actually need to fit them and what happens? guy comes round and askes if i have any pug wheels for sale
bish bash bosh

a mk5 should take a 16" wheel easy aslong as the ofset and stud pattern is good
dont want a profile over 50 tho ie 205 (width) 50 (profile bigger number the bigger the tyres sides are) 16 (diameter)

Matt_16v

Ok, just found out that the tyres are 205 55 16

Pleeeeeeeeeeeeaase tell me these'll fit?!?

Matt_16v

Hmm, guess they will be the tyres are quite tall? No big deal, they'll do

jammerrs

tyres will be way to high, 205/195 40s id guess you want.

the lower the offest the more the wheels will come out the arches, most fords have about 35

55s are quite big, 205/45/16 would fit best

What's the offset thatsthe important bit don't buy them just knowing tyre size
