Any 16" alloys that will bolt straight on....No faffing?

[KarlT]

Following on from other thread are there any other 16" alloys that will bolt straight onto a syncro?
Cheap/used ones that is not 1 grand 16" keyhole things.

Depends if you wanna make your 14" van less capable off road. If so then yes...

What ones were you thinking of?

While karl is on this subject, I I don't know of any that will just bolt on no faffing apart from the ones talked about in the outher post which I did not know about or like that much but that is just me,

Any how the ml alloys I have put them on to my van well the rears when the prop was off just to try them out (gearing etc) and all was ok, I was using a 10mm spacer and all sceamed to be good. Now I know that I should be using a 20mm to get the corect offset. What effect if any will this lack of 10mm have? Or is the real effect gonna be on the front?

8x16" fit straight on .....

ZCW Force Shadow 16"x7 £410 for 5 . You need the spacers at approx £40 for 4. Not sure how they would go at standard ride height. Mine is a bit higher.

What exactly are you after Karl?

Something for nothing

Errrmmmm....... ....Any 16" alloys that will bolt straight on....No faffing?

I'm thinking of putting more roady tyres on the syncro but need/want to be 16" alloy as the 14" alloys with road tyres just look too damn small.
Don't want to messing with stripping, bearings & longer studs etc etc. Are there any 16's with the correct off-set (30/31ET) and narrow enough to allow fitting to standard stud length? Also don't want the wheel itself to be too wide 6.5/7" max, as I've found ride & steering (& tyre cost) can suffer with real wide alloys. Don't want wide rears as this would make tyre rotation impossible.

Also I feel the alloys need to look more solid. I think these thin spoked (even if they've got the correct load settings) don't look right on a massive square lump of van.

Not too much to ask for?

I take it they are not on standard studs, what with the spacers.


Would consider adaptors.

Well if thats what you want then these rims will fit with no spacers, no longer studs and no faffing. Will tale a 225/70 or 235/60 section tyre such as the BFG Macadam T/A or All Terrain

What's the ET & how wide is alloy, SP?

Any others out there?

Ford Granada Scorpio in 5 stud format. 5x112PCD, good offset, 16" and v.cheap.

Look like Merc AMG rims.



Drill out the holes and bolt them on.
