   Hi people, ok this is prob going to be a stupid question but just wondering would a set of ford 16 inch alloys fit a VTS? They are both 4 nut alloys and I know the tyres would need to be low profile but just wondering???
   
   Alloys in questions at Mondeo ST24 Turbines?

   Same PCD (distance between bolt holes) but ford run a different ofset IIRC you'd need 20mm spacers with longer bolts.
   Tyre wise you'd need to change the mondeo ballons to 195-40-16.

   cheers fellas, i think these would look great on a vts. good to know they can be done.
   
   if anyone is a bit funky with photoshop would anyone mind putting a pic up of a saxo with them, would be very apprichated.

   lol aint the saxo a 90's car?
   
   after a set of 16's that aint going to set the wallet on fire really. ford alloys always appear to be quite reasonable

    yea but im after a nice set of cheaper 16's and you can pick these up for £100 without tyres. like said prev i think they look good and something different to all the other vts/vtr alloys out there.
    
    not just the ST24 alloys though there is a big range of ford alloys.
