G'day all sorry if this has been covered.
The missus had a prang Friday night and ripped off her FR wheel on a gutter, I have pulled it down and had the following damaged parts. -hub -strut -wheel & tire -drive shaft -inner tie rod -lower control arm managed to get everything at the wrecker on sat morning for $160 but the ford 16"wheel, that 108 pcd has thrown a spanner in the works car needs tiers soon so i was thinking i would grab the mazda 2 hubs being 4x100 pcd as that size has more available wheels to choose from has anyone done this ? |

nope never tried it ..you need to be exact on rim offset
and few other things if keeping three other rim/mags and tyres whats the spare like all four rims /mags have to match on the road ...dont they ? after market mags are easier to source or try private advertisers that may be wrecking your model with that much damage are you sure it hasnt lost its camber and caster specs

I will be getting the hubs in the next week or so will fined out soon enough, not too fussed with offset will get something that sits out a bit more obviously inside the wheel arch, will be getting some used 17" the fiesta came with the alloys that were garbage bent in no time so got a set of csa's in a rush as almost no choice for 108 ugly looking wheels !! so will be good to change them up.
I am running on the spear on the back atm its not too much of a drama, as soon as you pull a strut out or loosen the nuts you lose your alignment so it was redone and is fine, the repair was a **** in the park as we have similar race cars thankyou for the reply |
