Re: WHAT WHEEL MM SPACER?? HELP PLZ
several fords had wheels that looked like the brookland alloys, these are sometimes sold a capri brookland wheels....these will not fit without spacers.
the ones that u have could be the real deal or they could be the ones that need spacers to fit,thats why we need the numbers from the rims

Re: WHAT WHEEL MM SPACER?? HELP PLZ
get the numbers off the alloys. then we will be able to tell you if you have the capri ones or the ones that were fitted to other fords.
i did say this to you on your other post.
