FWD Ford Alloys on RWD Ford running gear
Hello
As above, a simple one really. I've spotted a set of FWD ford alloys (from a Ka) which would suit my Locost well. Its running a Mk2 back axle
and uprights. Will these fit OK or would I need spacers?
Cheers

I believe the Mk2 escort uses wheels that are around ET19
Not sure about KA's, but most of the newer cars and FWD stuff is at least ET35 (even sierra's are ET35 to 38)
later models tend to be even bigger offsets (my focus wheels are ET52)
so any of these would need some decent hub centric spacers to work for you

Might need spacers as iirc rwd fords have an offset around 20 where as fwd have closer to 35.
Cant remember the exact figures tho.

Good stuff, that's what i thought. If it'll work with spacers then jobs a good un!
