Ford - Peugeot PCD
Guys are these the same ? Been offered some wheels from a peugeot, just wanna make sure they'll fit my english axle/cortina hubs.
Cheers,
Mike

Yes they are the same PCD but peugeot wheels tend to have more offset than ford

I'm pretty sure the PCD is the same, but you might want to keep an eye on the offsets, as they are different. I had a set of Pug wheels that I
was going to fit to my MK, but the offset was too diferent

Will offset of around 16mm work ? Currently have Capri 'laser' wheels on.

the pcd is the same for both wheels, however the offset is different and will change the scrub radius, which could make your car dangerous to drive,
also the centre bore is bigger on the pug wheels which means the studs/bolts are taking all the load which is not advisable.

How much different is the offset ?

Don't get confused with these Indy boys!!
Sierras have a 38mm offset, so the Pug wheels are totally unsuitable for them.
The Cortina and Escort have an offset of about 15mm, so the extra few mm will make next to no difference.
The biggest difference is the spigot hole in the middle of the wheel, it's a couple of mm bigger on the Pug wheels - nothing to worry about on a
light car such as ours as the weight can easily be taken on the studs.

Hi there was a thread on this before that stated that the nuts differed slightly and that altenative ones were available. I believe these were
available form Rayleigh Tyres

Lazer alloys are ET19, but it is the centre bore which makes the difference, the peugeot is larger.
The nuts on the early peugeots have a flat flange which is a problem, as the thread offset is different.
I 'think' the post 205/309 era alloys have the same 60° flange as the ford, but have yet to prove this - but the centre bore is still an
issue

I am using 1.9 gti wheels (bloody heavy things but I already have them!)
I am drilling out the sleeve holes in the wheels to accept 7/16" flat faced sleeve nuts, problem solved. Also turning up some thin steel spacer
rings to centre the wheels properly.

Are there any cast/forged alloy car wheels that are lighter than their steel counterparts?
I think you'll find they only become lighter than steelies when you get up to truck sizes.

That's the correct way of going about it.
I wouldn't recommend anyone try mounting wheels and relying on just the studs. The wheels definitely require the hub spigot to locate them
concentrically.
The only exception would be a very light car and even then, only if the stud holes in the wheels had tapered seats and tapered nuts were used to
secure them.
