kevin_love21 Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Ok, silly title! I wanna get some new wheels for my cabby. At present he has 5 spoke-14 inch wheels. They look a bit small! What i need to know: * What do i need to look out for when getting new alloys?* Is there anything extra I need to buy or do they just slide right on?* How big do i go? Thanks, and apologies for sounding like a moron. New to mods and wanna get started asap! Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madxrcabby Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 need to make sure theyre the right fitment and offset for your car , make sure the tyres are the right size and you can go as big as you want , but 17's are the biggest you wanna go if you lower aswell without archwork Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eetaylog Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 look for wheels with ford fitment specs: 4 stud108mm pcd35-42 offset. most fords have the same specs iirc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
