   rwd fords are lower offset than fwd so may not need much spacing if at all, but the centre bore will be too small so need taking out by 1.7mm.
   
   I found some 8x15 Compomotive TH's off an Escort, they were ET0.
   
   find out the width and offset first, are they not 13? too?

   I run ford 13x7 et0 wheels. As mentioned, you will need to machine out the centre bore and make sure you use the correct wheel nuts

   Depending on the offset of the wheel, these could come in handy.

    ive a set of capri laser alloys i was going to fit, but ones buckled like fook so thats out the window now
    just be careful which ones you buy as some require special wheel nuts :idea:
