Will they fit?

[Arya2.0S]

I am considering buying a set of superlight alloys as seen here:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/182418340849? ... EBIDX%3AIT
As im a total noob when it comes to wheels and tyres and offsets etc im just wondering if these will fit without problems? I was thinking of putting 205/60r13 tyres on them or are they too big?
Dont want to do anything like rub on the arches or have to have them rolled as thats just totally out of the question, just got the paint the way i want it and i dont want to risk mucking it up by rolling the arches.
Thanks.

Well 7x 13 would be optimum for a 205/60/13 tyre as that was the standard setup for the 2.8i. However Im not sure about the offset as generally wheel offsets for front and rear wheel drive stuff is different (though just to confuse things the Sierra which was rwd had fwd offset wheels.) Also are the bolt holes in the right place for Ford ?

I would suggest checking with the vendor as they will have access to a compatibility chart.

The pcd appears to be incorrect, you want 108

Oh I'm such a pillock! I didn't see that they were for a Mini! I got them confused with the other ones that are for Ford's, I thought they seemed too cheap, these are the ones I meant, exactly the same just for the right car this time lol

I'm mainly worried about the tyre size, I have seen Capri's running these rims but not sure what tyre size is best for them.
Little worried by the bit on the auction that says "body mods: possible" also.

Hi,
I wouldn't have thought you would have any fitting issues with these wheels. The difference in offset between original 7 inch wheels (pepperpots) and these wheels is only 12mm.

They look great and I'm thinking of putting them on my 3.0S when it eventually gets done. Will probably get the anthracite rather than black finish.

My only concern in relation to putting them on a 2.0s with 205's would be that, with no power steering, you would need muscles like an olympic weight lifter to steer the car at parking speeds.

Would agree that these should fit without any issues but 205s will be seriously heavy to steer at lower speeds... 185/60s would be easier to turn?? Obviously if you a built like a brick wall then stick with 205s

lol, ive owned non-power steering cars for the past 8 years so, my biceps and shoulders have.....lets say "evolved" to cope lol. Dont mind the little extra burn for the sake of style

Have you fitted your new rims yet D366Y?

I did indeed and they look awesome.

No rubbing on any arches or anything, but I feel the rims are slightly exposed and will be getting bigger tyres when I change them for sure.

I'll update me thread with some pictures at some point this weekend

Ok looking forward to seeing them, as im considering getting those rims instead of superlights if they fit.

I have 205s on my 2.0 - they curse a bit in the garage at MOT time cos they are wimps but its not really a problem.
