wheels and tyres
as everyone has been saying dont go for 17s for handlingg and weight etc and 15s dont look that good Ive decided to find some 16's and meet
everyone half way
I take it the offset is the same as the sierra I think the tyres are 195/50/16 does that sound right and is that the best size to go for
thanks chris

Got black 14" wheels on mine. 185/60/14 yoko A048r tyres. Handles well and look good (IMO).
My offset = ET35 (sierra is ET38 IIRC)

If you are only looking at 'cosmetic' reasons for choosing wheel size - don't forget tyre cost difference between 15" and
16". Got 195/50/15 Goodyear Eagle F1's for less than £50 each. Other sizes were considerably more expense.

Offset is generally stated by manufacturers as a range.
Sierra is 35....38 As are most fords.
I'll try and post a chart later.
Experience is what you get when you don't get what you want!!!

195/50/16 AFAIK is a non existent size. You would be looking at using a 205/45/16 tyre.

Bought the wheels second hand ET35 seemed close enough to ET38 to not worry about.
