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

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.

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

They were the right price - and big brakes are fun

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
