Alloys/ Spare Wheel

[Guest jetskijase]

HI All

Long time no post

 

I'am hopefully recieving a wad of halfords vouchers for me bday this weekend and i'am going to put them towards a set of alloys.

 

I've done a few searches and the peugoet offset has been mentioned a few time's, they have the same pcd so will fit my 2b/sierra hubs, and the offset will bring the alloys out?? correct? Anyone got any ex on these?

 

Iam going for 195/50/15 tyres/alloys do i just ask for them with peugoet offset or any certain peugeot?

 

Also , do you need a spare wheel for sva?

 

Cheers chaps and will see/ introduce to you all at stoneleigh

Jase,

Ask for wheels for a Capri, Cortina or MK1 or 2 Escort. They have the normal Ford four stud PCD and the same offset as the Pug (which just happens to be the offset used on most rear wheel drive Fords except the Sierra). If you get Pug wheels you will need special wheelnuts as their taper is different to Ford. Capri/Cortina/Escort wheels will fit straight on with your existing nuts. Puregrot wheels are good if they come cheap (free) and you only have to sort a set of wheelnuts. If you're buying new anyway then get the Ford fitting and save yourself the messing around.

 

Happy Birthday

I think the centre hole bit (can't remember the technical term) on puregrot wheels is bigger than Ford, so you need a fitting kit.

 

Fairly certain you don't need a spare for sva.

 

Happy Birthday

Cheers guys

 

Some good points,

 

I know what to ask for now.

 

Right time to go for a bday buffet

 

Thanks again

before i went for sva test i phoned dvla and asked about spare wheel, was told if it was not fitted they could not fail it for not having one, same as mot....colin

[Guest jetskijase]

Fantastic, cheers for that colin

Joel is right. The Puregrot centre spigot is bigger than the Ford one. You can buy spacer rings to fill the gap (or get them made up). Many of the aftermarket wheels are made with the larger centre hole regardless and the rings are provided with the wheels. I have a set of Alessio wheels that came like this.

I bought a set of TSW alloys with a peugeot fitment (ET15 I think, 108mmPCD) and they came with adaptor rings and new nuts as part of the package. These fit on exactly with no gaps on the centre hubs or problems with the studs/bolts.
