I'm just about to "inherit" a Sierra and I reckon Slotmags will improve the look no end... Any advice/experience re. sizes, stud pattern, etc?  |

they are tricky to find in anything other than 13" in my experience
maybe get some scimitar pattern 14" wolfrace, and get the ford stud pattern (4x108) redrilled inbetween - you'll just have to watch the centrebore size
or get some 4x108-4x114.3 / other 4 stud adaptors made??

Almost on the road: b11 sunny breadvan, e36 tds, 325i skidcar,
nearly there: ford f250 tathauler, suzuki alto, u11 bluey
not for a while: ford pop, 32 rails,
not in this lifetime: ruby, '29 hillman

^ What Kev said. Sierra is the same 4x108 as Escorts and such, but most slots in that pattern will be 13s - and probably 5.5" wide at that. A good size on a Mk1 or 2 scrote, probably a wee bit small on a Sierra.
And if you do get a set to have redrilled, make absolutely sure that they are Wolfies: Most others (Cobras, etc.) have weight-reduction recesses between the bolt holes on the back of the central face so you can't drill between the existing holes.

Sierras run almost FWD offset as well, most slots will stick way out as well as screw up the handling, not sure what size brakes the 1800s had but its possible 13's wont fit at all.

Volvo back as my main squeeze, more boost and some interior goodies on the way.

1.8 cvh will probably have 240mm discs, escorts with the same brakes run 13's, ie the mk4 vans.. |

Normally a set of 13" slots for sale on 106 owners, they love fitting them to Peugeots !

Hmmmm...having looked at the car, I'm beginning to think that a period set of Ghia-type alloys might look better?

Period ford alloys get my vote, escort cosworth wheels would be nice.

Slotmags usually won't clear the calipers whatever size they are. Most Ford fitment ones were made for disk behind hub struts.

So...period Ford alloys - I'll be honest, I am totally clueless when it comes to what will fit/what won't and why...
Any suggestions/optimum tyre sizes?

many years ago I had a 1.8 cvh sierra and fitted the 13" RS 4 spoke alloys as fitted to RS2000 / Mk2 Escorts and Capri's, I used them with 185/70R13 but a lower profiles ones combined with lowering would look the mutts, they will clear your arches too so no scrapage
