Escort wheel PCD and Offset.

Hi Guys,

I'm right at the early stages of my build, I have the promise of a chassis and an engine that needs some repair!

My planning is coming along, with a list of parts that I need that is sure to grow. One of the things on the list is wheels.

If I was to use the Mk I or II Escort rear axle and Cortina front uprights, what size wheels would I need? I have some wheels in the garage, but need to know the PCD and suitable offset to see if they would fit.

Ta for any advice.

Alex.

I'm using the same setup and have found Capri Laser wheels to be both cheapest and coolest!

From memory it is 4x108PCD and around ET19 offset

Pcd for the 4 stud fords are 108mm The offset for Live axle ie Mk1+2 escort and capri ect would be around 19mm latter stuff like sierra and fwd cars would be aroun 35~40mm

Thanks for the quick replies guys, not looking good though!

I have 2 sets of wheels in the garage, one a 13" set with a PCD of 4x100 and a 16" set with a PCD of 4x114.

Spose I'll have to look at picking up a set.

Get down to the scrap yard and pick up a set of old steel wheels and tyres just to get the the rolling chassis stage. No rush to get anything special at this stage IMO.

Might have a set of 13" Revolutions coming up for sale in a month or so...
