Hi,
I have a standard 1998 2.0 Mondeo with 14" wheels.
Does anyone know if the 1998 Si 16" steel wheel are a straight swap?
Will they improve my handling?
Are the tyres much dearer? (195/60/16)
Thanks.
Kev

In news: snipped-for-privacy@uni-berlin.de, Kevin Stone decided to enlighten our sheltered souls with a rant as follows
Yup.
Probably improve available grip. Probably ride slightly worse
I very much doubt they're 195/60/16s. Much more likely to be 205/50/16...
Definetely 195/60s (according to listing in Ebay). What's the difference between the two sizes in terms of ride change?
Will changing the wheels change the gearing/speedo/etc (currently 185/65/14)
(show's you how much I know)!
Cheers.

205/50/16's would be about right, 195/60/16's would probably mean the speedo would read low. As in you're doing 30 real mphs and the speedo would say around 27-28, would get worse with speed.
This will help
It was somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember "Pete M" saying something like:
Very useful; thanks.
Anyone got any clue how to save the calculator locally?
Hi Peop's
Mk1's and Mk2's have 195's, the Mk3's have 205's
Hi Kevin
Are you sure that they havent been swapped at some time, my 2.0 GLX has 15" wheels. my dads 1.8 has 14"
Some Si's are 5 stud i believe, have a good look, otherwise stand one of your wheels next to the Si wheel, if they are the same height then your OK, any difference will alter gearing ratios and speedo display..
Nope but they will degrade your fuel consumption.
I've got one of the last MK2's and its got 205/50/16s. Its the Zetec model. Think the LX comes with different sizes though.
