I've got Mk2 Orion sitting on Mondeo 5 spokes similar ot the Escort Cossie wheels.

The Orion fitments are for 4 bolts, but the wheels were designed for just the studs, which have bigger shoulders than the older Ford bolts.

So basically, the shoulders on the bolts I'm using are too small for the wheels, and are starting to cut into the wheels. I knew this before I bought the car but thought no problem, I'll just buy bigger shouldered bolts.

Turns out this might be a problem, as a few folk don't reckon you can get bolts with bigger shoulders that will fit

So this might mean bye bye to the wheels unless anyone can suggest bolts that might fit, or is this a pointless venture trying to find some??

Gutted as I just spent £120 on two new Toyo Proxes!!

Who or where is Speedshack?

The other option you have is fitting studs!

And on the that subject, can anyone offer me any other info on it, i need to fit studs on the cabriolet before the cossie discs drive me insane

 

Speedshack sells the studs you want i think mate.

 

Just wondered what dimensions they are more than anything, a lot of these places bump the prices up and as im sure you are aware, im a tight cunt lol

What nuts can you use with them aswell? Ive got some MK5 escort nuts but they have big shoulders like the Mondeo ones etc

 

also available from demon tweeks but unless you want to remortgage i would try speedshack

 

If you get them for a ford then i would think you could use any ford nut as there all the same aint they

 

Well yea.......but most ford's that have nuts use the large shoulders........you get me?
