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
