13" Minilites - Will they fit?
chrisbmxr - 20/4/18 at 02:30 PM

Will these fit an MK Indy? I know the PCD is correct, but will they go over the brakes (standard disc brakes all round). They came off a Mk2 Escort.

They are 13"x7j, 4x108 ford fitment et-7



Sorry for asking a stupid question ... I'm not good with offsets etc.

I take it some arch work would be required as they'll sit wider than my current 15"s which have a standard offset?

Thanks again for your help!

offset is miles out. Your Indy should be more like 35~38. I would love a set for mine but they just don’t look the same with the Sierra offset on a 6or 7j rim.

OK thanks!

Shame - they would look awesome!

Assuming your current rims are 6” with an offset of +38 and the new ones are 7” with an offset of -7 the new rims would stick out another 57mm ish.

There are several online calculators and your Indy may be differant to the normal.

The lowest offset and size you can use on the Indy with standard rear arches keeping the wheels inside your rear arches will be a 6 inch wide ET24 wheel.

I take it I would have the same problem with these ...

Yeah.

A good site to use is www.willtheyfit.com

Type in your current wheel sizes and then your new ones and it shows you how they would sit on the car,and speedo/ride height differences

If this means they could be for sale I could be interested

I *think* that mk1 Ka wheels have close enough offset to replace 'Sierra' wheels. And there were some mini-lite style wheels on one of the Ka models. .. Might be your best bet?
