Wheel offsets etc

Forgive me, I know this has been discussed before and have looked through the archive....

.....but am still none the wiser.

Can anyone clarify; I know Ford wheels are 4 stud, but are they all the same PCD/offset or are they different depending on model?

I'm going to be using the mk kit, so sierra uprights, are there specific sizes I should be going for in terms of offset etc? I'm planning on 13" rims for low spinning weight at each corner.


e.g. are escort rs alloys suitable as a direct fit? or others?

thanks,

Andrew.

As far as I'm aware all ford wheels have the same PCD, however, the front wheel drive cars have too small an offset to use without spacers.

I had rs2000/capri wheels on my old sierra based robin hood and they fitted a treat, look good too.

Although different rear wheel drive wheels have different offsets they tend to be fractionally different so that you can run them without spacers or fear of fouling.

(prepares to be corrected!)
