Mondeo 16" Steel Stock Wheel

nanarana · 22-04-2010, 04:58 PM

Hi guys im after some information about a mondeo wheel.

Ive heard there is a 16" stock steel wheel that came out on mondeos? what size and offset are they? pcd 5x108?

I might be interested in a set without tyres!

mondo_broady · 22-04-2010, 09:13 PM

dunno bout the 16" steel wheels, but i have a set of sexy XR5 18" wheels for sale... go on, you know you want to... ;)

nanarana · 22-04-2010, 11:28 PM

thanks for the reply mondo broady. im only interested in the 16" stockies for now. 18's would be nice but not now, maybe in the future.

anyone with info on these steel wheels?

mondo_broady · 23-04-2010, 01:01 PM

that's ok, it was tongue in cheek anyway. sorry to hijack your thread.

not 100% but i would think the offset of the steel wheels would be close to the alloys +55 5x108 might not be that common to pick up... best bet might be to find someone who is doing after market and get theirs??

nanarana · 23-04-2010, 02:29 PM

all good mate. like you said i thought someone would be upgrading to bigger rims and would want to seel there stock wheels. im very interested in a set without tyres if anyone can point me in the right direction

NZ XR6 · 25-04-2010, 06:37 AM

The offset is 50 and the width is 6.5" I had a set of steel wheels and tyres in my garage, but they're back on the car now as I prefer them to the 17" alloys that I upgraded to!

You might find that a set of 16" focus wheels will be OK as the offset will be about the same. Not sure what the rim width is though.

im looking a set of mondeo stock steel rims without tyres. ive placed an add in the wanted section. if anyone can help please contact me!

thanks in advance

mondo_broady · 26-05-2010, 01:17 AM

mate not sure if you'd be interested but thought it can't hurt to mention it... there is a guy over at www.fordxr5turbo.com looking to sell a set of 16" focus wheels. i'm fairly sure the offsets are ok for mondeo. here is a link to the thread:

i forgot about this post, thanks mondo broady but im looking for the steel rims suit hubcaps.

can anyone help?

nanarana · 26-07-2010, 07:43 PM

im still looking for a set of these wheels. can anyone help?

nanarana · 30-10-2010, 03:09 PM

BUMP. can anyone help with these steel wheels? im still looking for a set, keep looking on ebay but nothing comes up

thanks guys

NZ XR6 · 03-11-2010, 07:45 PM

I have a set sitting in my garage. But I live in Auckland so freight could be an issue!

They are 6.5" with a +50 offset. There are 16" alloy wheels available to fit the Mondeo - do you have a reason for wanting steelies?

nanarana · 06-11-2010, 07:51 PM

thanks for the reply NZ XR6. I think freight would be too high for these wheels to get them to australia. thanks for the offer but im looking for the steel wheels because they are going on a different car (not mondeo) with the same stud pattern and i need to get the offset changed.

thanks

Hi Nanarana

No problem with the idea of fitment to a different car, but changing the offset?

I can only see one method of changing a wheel's offset and that is by fitting a spacer. And in all (?) states there are some stringent requirements about this. If not followed they invalidate the legality of the car for road use and will void any insurance too.

Just interested in what you are attempting. I wouldn't like for you to get into trouble inadvertently.

Cheers

nanarana · 08-11-2010, 08:28 PM

it all legal alan d. i will not be using spacer because they are dangerous and void insurance. changing the offset is achieved by changing the outside hoops on the wheel. its done by a wheel manufacter/engineer.

cheers

Ah Ha,

So you plan to re-roll the wheel outer flange and tyre bead seat?

I did not consider "that" kind of alteration. It now becomes clear why you are in need of steel rims.

Do you know how much track width change you are allowed as a percentage figure? I'll bet there are rules about that too

.

Good luck with the search.

Cheers

mondo_broady · 09-11-2010, 03:35 PM

maximum track width change in NSW is 25mm. not sure about other states...

nanarana · 09-11-2010, 10:18 PM

ill be keeping the 7inch diameter just changing the offset. might only need 2 steel rims. dont want tyres. any leads? ive phoned wreckers and everything but no cigar. how much would they be worth?

NZ XR6 · 12-11-2010, 04:04 AM

Have you tried Ford dealers? They might have the wheels from upgrading standard models to alloys.

mondo_broady · 13-11-2010, 05:39 PM

what change in offset are you looking to do??

nanarana · 15-11-2010, 05:29 PM

nz xr6 ive tried ford dealerships but i dont think they keep the wheels. they dont seem very helpful!

mondo broady im looking at changing the offset to around +35. i still need to work out what offset is correct. i think volvo have something around this offset in the correct pcd (5x108) but im having less success in finding these. maybe someone knows of a set of volvo 16" steel rims i could buy?

MOND30 · 15-11-2010, 06:45 PM

Have you considered changing the hubs? Might be easier! ;)

nanarana · 16-11-2010, 03:17 PM

yep mond30 thats what im looking into now. i need steel rims for the original look im going for. might still need 2 mondeo steel wheels.

also i have a set of 15' focus steel wheels that i now no longer need. how much are these worth? anyone want them? will swap for 2 mondeo steel rims!

mondo_broady · 16-11-2010, 10:09 PM

+35... what is the stock offset of the steel wheels??
