To mount Escor RS2000 wheels to Cortina Front Hubs and MK2 Escort Rear Axle will i require new studs?

Are you talking 1970-80 Rs or the 90's one?

The Mk1/2 RS wheels need special nuts and collars

the Mk5/6 Escort RS2000 wheels are front wheel drive offset and so aren't really suitable.

cheers

Im talking MK2 RS2000 sorry.

They will bolt straight on. Check nuts though, RS wheels used a sleeve nut and flat washer, Capri wheels used taper seats. These were often used to replace RS wheels, so make sure you know what you've got.

Yeah i brought a Capri wheel last year that was incorrectly advertised on Ebay.

I was credited for the mistake, just had to keep the wheel and pay the carriage, so £12 wasnt that bad after all, just will use it as spare.
