Hi all,
can i ask if the wheels that are usually on a Ford Puma fit the sierra hubs?
they are 15inch but not sure of the offset thingy:o

they are the ones with wide flat spokes, thought these might look ok & cover the rear drums nicely:o :D

thanks
andy
ps can,t do a link to show the ones i mean :o

Hi Andy

My fitment guide shows the following information for the Puma wheels

PCD 4 X 108

Offset 35 - 45

Bore 63.4mm

For a 15" tyre: 50 tyre profile. eg. 195/50/15 ;)

This is the same fitment requirements as the Sierra rim

I hope this helps :)


Edit

Ps. Give me the item number so as I can out bid you :D :D

wow thanks for that quick info Ronnie,
so they might be just the ticket for me, i can,t afford a new set during the build so if i can find some of these in the mean time then i,ll be happy with them,
i like the fact that they have wide "spokes" and so hide the weedy drums & calipers :o :D

cheers

Andy im not sure if you already know how to do it, but to create a link in the forum to say a website or an ebay listing, click on the address at the top of your browser window, it will be something along the lines of:

http://www.websitenamehere.co.uk

It will turn blue, press Ctrl (bottom left) and the C key simulatanously. This has copied it.

To paste it into a message press Ctrl and the V key simulatanously. The forum will automatically make it a clickable link.

While were on the subject of wheels, i found a set of 15 in alloys near me for aout £150, but the seller has only told me thay have come off a peugeot 106 so it has a bigger bore(65.1mm) and a offset of 20mm(i think) which im not sure if would be suitable?

if not, i have found many other alloys mostly which are 17in ones. I know that for optimum geometory, 15 in alloys are required, but would i encounter any problems using bigger wheels?

Thanks.

I am putting 16s on mine. I got a set for the right price, and I need them to fit my brakes behind:D

Peugeot/Citroen have the same PCD as Ford on the Sierra with four studs,I am lead to believe that the later wheels on the Focus etc are different.

just to add a bit peugeot/citroen have the same pcd but have an et15 off set . this would mean they would stick out a bit further

Depends how much later you mean. I have Focus ST170 brake discs and they are 4x108 (and 300mm diameter:D) (ST170 02-04 years)

They were the right price - and big brakes are fun:D

They are bloody heavy though, I might look into getting the 2 piece type, with the alloy inner bell.

If they turn out to be a bit much then I may swap to smaller ones, but I also like the look of big brakes
