Hi

As far as I know any 15" Ford fitment alloy wheel should be fine

Mk5/6 Escort, Mondeo & the likes

If memory serves me right the PCD is 4 X 108 & ET of 38

Here's a little info from Alloywheels.com

Make : Ford Model : Sierra Year : 84 to 94 PCD : 4x108 Offset : 35 to 45 Bore : 63.4

Most 4 stud Ford rims seem to fall within that range

Have a browse here

My wheels came from a Ford Puma (also a FWD Ford), the only issue with them is I can,t fit the center caps on the rear wheels ( which are very concave) due to the hub nut on the Sierra drive shafts . Looks ok without the center caps tho .

cheers

Just seems silly that for the sake of slightly narrrower rear arms the standard 14s wouldn't fit afterall it is what the donor has on it

There are a few things along the way like this but nothing that the lads on here have not got a answer too, just post your problems and an answer is probably just around the corner.I think there is more choice in the wheel and tyre options on the larger diameter wheels. And they are as cheap as chips.

Default peugeot wheels

I have been given a brand new set of peugeot 15'' alloys and tyres the hole centres are the same and the centre bore hole seems to be the same to you think the offset will be an issue
