MightyNexx Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Hey guys, just bought some Mondeo 5 spoke alloys for my Escort Van, I have a question... They are 205/50/16, will they fit straight on the van or will they need spacers or what ?? Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marshy Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 i had the same (and still do on the rear) on mine... only problem i reckon youll have is the fronts rubbing on the inner arch on full lock...the common size for escorts on 16s is 195/45/16s.. although it may differ with vans although i highly doubt it... someone will confirm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaweV6 Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 5-6 mm spacing required in the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikes-fat-arsed-estate Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 ive had my 205/55/17 on my escort estate now for over 3 years with out any problems what so ever like above already said on full lock the front do come close to touching the inner arch plastics but you dont drive on full lock ; ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hezz Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 best way to try sorry mate, a guy called whitevanman on here (a long time ago) had problems with the offset of the cossie style alloys on the back of his van - iirc they were the 15" version too!!

-Dan- Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Hi fella i got focus alloys on my van and the front rub only on full lock which i'm not to worried about but the rears do rub like mad i've had to beat the arch for them to sit right but will be fitting 5-6mm spacers in the new, once I've refurbed them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
