Fitting Wide wheels........Please help me

[qwerty]

Well I hope this is an OK place to put this topic.

 

I have a Mk5 Cortina Carousel. At the moment its completely stock but over the next few months I'm hoping to "improve" it.

 

Anyway first port of call has to be getting it sitting right so I've started looking for wheels.

 

Found some I like Here:

Basically I want these:

 

In either 14x8 or 15x8 Flavour.

 

But I dunno if they'll fit offset Wise. 4" Back spacing equates to 0ET So I'd have to get 4.75".......But what offset would that give me and would it work on the Cortina?

They look different.

 

I don't know much about Cortina Offsets but be sure and do your research on how much they'll cost you to ship over here and don't forget to account for import duty and the dreaded VAT as the customs man will likely hammer you for it.

Yeah its all being taken into account. The company I'm using are really good and are trying to find the cheapest way for me to do it.

 

From My research I think I'm gunna have to probably go with 14x7's on the front and 8's on the back both with the Biggest back spacing I can get!

mk4/5 cortina uses same offset as a sierra, basicly somewhere between a FWD escort and propper classic ford RWD offset.
