It needs to be a Ford PCD of 4x108 and then an ET15 which is a peugeot. For the Zero it needs to be these fitments or it wont fit, I spent ages on ebay and other websites trying to get a good deal and the only place that did the correct PCD and offset at a very good price was GBS, no surprise really as Richard buys 100's of the correct wheel fitment alloys and Yokahoma tyres.

 

Here is a chart of wheels and fitments

As the required ET is 15 and the Sierra is ET38 a 20mm spacer would be needed.

That is quite thick so hubcentric spacers would be needed

I've got 20mm spacers on the front of mine, just be carefull of how much thread you have left when fitting these, you may need longer wheel studs, only a few pounds from the bay of E,

 

Thats the cheapest option if you already have wheels from the donor, but if you are buying new wheels then GBS is your answer

That's nothing, on Bangler Bangers & Chop Shop they use 6 inch thick spacers. 9pm tonight on Quest if you can stand it, I can't and have stopped watching!!

So its not so much miles per gallon but wheel bearings per mile!

Youve' never seen such a load of bad mechanics and bad workmanship in your life, dethtraps and not an IVA in sight!

you should be able to get the studs out with a hyde hammer, they are on a spline through the hub, pull the new ones through with an old wheel nut and some washers ensuring they are going in straight,

 

Then just keep an eye on wheel nut tightness for the first few weeks of driving,

 

hope that helps Femi.

Put a nut on the end of the stud, hold over a slightly open vice and hit with a club hammer, it's an easy job, to fit new, I put a stud in the hub cover the thread with tube or a deep socket and press in with the vice, or you can turn the hub over on slightly open vice jaws and hit it with a club hammer.

Another way is to lightly tap in the stud from behind the use a nut on the stud thread and wind it in, may need a tap if the unthreaded part sticks through the hub face.

cheers paul, I was going for hub centric anyways. Quite worried about pushing the studs out. Do i need an hydraulic press?

 

If you use these

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290494606123&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT then you don't need to change your studs. These bolt to your standard studs.

Just ordered a set over the phone, seems like a really nice guy, said they should be here tommorrow.

I will let you know.

That sounds rather like the older Ford "rear wheel drive" offset. The Sierra despite actually being rear wheel drive got what was known as the front wheel drive wheel fitments (likely because that's what all their other cars were getting at the time it was made). I suspect you'll find that Capri or MkI/II Escort wheels would fit nicely.
