robexor Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Hello Peeps. Im after a new set of wheels for me car and i I aint got a clue about what correct size/fitments pcd's ?? are required. I am looking at these 2 types of wheels, they both say they will fit and come with a Full Fitting Kit. ?? I know some of the pics are 5 stud but they do 4 studs. Basically , will these fit on my MK6 Si 5 door, please click the pic's for more info on them. http://imagehost.vendio.com/a/23734168/aview/1225303809578_DRIFT_BLKLIP_1.jpg http://imagehost.vendio.com/a/23734168/aview/CRUIZE_885_MX5_2.JPG cheeers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mykez69 Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 (edited) the top ones will fit so will the bottom ones you need a pcd of 4x108 and then you have to look at the offset but i have enver come across a problem with offset yet Edited January 5, 2009 by mykez69 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shiner Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Tyres look the right size. not sure about ET38. Also, I don't think they will look very special being only 15", nice wheel though all the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tez162003 Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Tyres look the right size. not sure about ET38. Also, I don't think they will look very special being only 15", nice wheel though all the same. definatly agree with shiner about the size, if you going after market, atleast 16s id say 17s would suit best. 15inch alloys like that just end up looking cheap and tacky ET38, thats what my 18s are. dont really see a problem with that ET, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sortedford Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 35-38 is reccomended for the Escort. Guess you have spaces on Tez? as i run ET15 with my arches? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robexor Posted January 5, 2009 Author Share Posted January 5, 2009 OK right, i just called the company, they both will fit. The fitting kit is basically the lock nuts/bolts and plastic washers.sprockets ?? I was told the washer's are needed cos the after market wheels, and most after market alloys come with these. Is this tru? and do you think there needed ? WTF is ET38 lol What ET do i need then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig855S Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 the plastic rings are there as an anti sieze measure i was told when i got cheap aftermarket rims Please get 16s tho,15s look crap,especially aftermarket ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robexor Posted January 6, 2009 Author Share Posted January 6, 2009 The reason why i picked 15's is cost, i only got about £300 to spend and 16's push the ££££ right up over £400. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
