Granada Cosworth Alloys

[bellacops]

Evening all ,

We are fairly new to the site and apologise if this has been asked before (I did search all areas and the Wiki) but we have an '85 T25 and would like to buy some alloy wheels. I understand that some Ford wheels fit. Does anyone know if the following would be suitable: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/FORD-GRANADA-COSW ... dZViewItem .

a) Will these fit on our van
b) If so, what modifications will I have to make
c) Will it be necessary to lower the van (would it look odd running at standard height)?

Any help would be appreciated, many thanks.

Hi, Welcome to the site

I can't comment on the exact wheels, but I had a set of Granada wheels on my previous T25, I needed some spacers on the front and the seat of the ford is radiused not chamfered (or is it vice versa) so new wheel nuts/studs will (should) be req'd

Basically these have the same PCD as VW, so they will fit, with a few adaptions

Checkout this link on the Brickyard for more info on alloys that fit:

Shepster has fitted these to his van with no problems....but I may be a bit forward there

Centrebore needs taking out.

I don't think they need longer studs, but it's a possibility, especially on the front of 2WDs.

Futbus can do the centrebore and is running exact same blingin' rimz on his Syncro. Very nice they look too.

That didn't need lowering to look good on them.
