Sierra wheels??
 
Hey, it's ages since I've been on had a turbulent last couple of years. Anyway back on with my builed now :)

I'm using an 83 mk1 sierra as a donor and I'm aiming to get my chassis rolling asap to spur me on, but when I've gone to put my rear wheel on, it's catching the bottom wishbone!?!!

When I've looked at the wheel, they are 13" rims, does any one know if these are no good??

Cheers Will

You could go through various 13" and 14" alloy and steel Ford fitment rims till you find one that works, most people just go straight for 15" rims to clear the lower bolt.

Ahhhh rubbish, was hoping to get by with the steel rims. Then upgrade somewhere down the road.

Thanks for the advice Phil

Put the steel rims on back to front for the build so that the outer rim is on the inside, thats what i did

Any Ford 4 stud and Peugeot too,same PCD as ford.
So focus alloys fit.

14" steelies fit, you just have to trim the lower bolt.

I found a guy from Telford on Ebay selling refurbished alloys, £150 for a set of 16" Escort RS wheels, powder coated grey nice job looking tidy
