Default Mk3/4 wheel issue HELP!!

Hi guys/girls,

I've got a Mk3 fiesta (1.3 LX nothing fancy) I just bought a set of alloys from a Mk4.
They won't go on! The studs are way too small for the holes on the wheels and they don't sit on the hub properly.
I'm told I need some spacers, and different wheel nuts. Can anyone help with where to get them from and any general advice?

Anything would be appreciated.

Cheers,

The MK3 Fiesta from 1990 onwards originally had shorter studs than the MK4 but the 1989-1990 Fiesta had the same studs as the MK5 Escort.

These later ones were superceded a few times and are now apparently the same as the latest Fiesta.

If you get any from Ford, the latest finis number is 1473166.
