Hi all,
 
I've currently got some 13" Volante wheels on my MK2 4 door, but was thinking about the possibility of swapping these out every now and then to something more modern.
 
Does anyone know what the normal specs (PCD, offset) are for the stock wheels? Also, has anyone experimented with wheels off some modern Ford models?
 
Cheers,
Drew

For example, I reckon these would look awesome in a 15"
 
Seem to be the same 4 x 108mm stud pattern, just unsure of the offset.

They are definitely the right stud pattern- I used the rear discs / calipers off a focus to do the rear disc conversion on my Mk2- straight bolt up , no machining or redrilling. Tried a standard steel rim on the car to check it but being front wheel drive inside dish too deep for standard front struts- though they may have fitted once I had done the coilover conversion. Len

According to my measurements, Volante wheels for the Escort (the Cortina ones may differ - they certainly look different) are 13" x 5.5" ET25.
 
If you post the offset of the wheel in question here, I'll run the numbers for you and let you know how they'll fit relative to the Volantes.  Being FWD wheels, I doubt the offsets are suitable though.  For reference, you want an offset of about ET12 for a 7" wheel.

Thanks peeps. Once I find the offset of the wheels in question I'll let you know!

Hi Flighter,
 
What do you think about an offset of 40P? Looking at the ROH Azzuro, which are a 4 x 108, but the offset is for a Fiesta...
 
Cheers.

Wont work without spacers. 40p is a front wheel drive backset wheel. And will hit the strut/guard etc.
As above you need a backset of around 10-20p for a 6-7" wheel.
 
Take a look at the pic below to understand a bit more on backset.

evobda2 is right.  Even Volantes with 205 tyres rub the struts on full lock (the tyres do that is, although not much). 

Hey guys,
 
I've been a bit slack on the offset of the wheels; long story made short, I'm in one state and the car is in another. We've not seen each other for over 2 years (*sniff*).
 
Buuuut, the car is at a panel beaters at the moment, so..... If there is the possibility that the ROH Azzuro wheels could work, I'd be keen to explore that by way of getting the arches rolled or using spacers as evobda2 mentioned....

Spacers will do the job, but they're illegal on the road
