My MK5 came from Ford with 14 inch Mondeo 5 spoke wheels (it was an Autosleeper Duetto Motorhome).

Early Mondeo wheels were 4 stud x 108mm PCD, so no, they definitely won't fit, the later 5 stud ones are still 108mm PCD and still won't fit a full size Transit :?

I say again that my MK5 came fitted with 5 spoke (and 5 stud) Mondeo 14 inch wheels. It was produced like that by Ford and was a special order for Autosleeper to use as the base vehicle for the Duetto motorcaravan.

I cannot say for certain what hubs are fitted to your van, but if they are 5 stud, the Mondeo 14 inch wheels should fit.

I'm sorry but you are clearly mistaken. Your MK 5 came with TRANSIT 5 stud alloy wheels which were the factory option for the MK5. As has already been said the Mondeos the same age as your van were 4 stud. The later Mondeos are 5 stud, but the wheelsDO NOT fit Ford Transits, they do however fit Ford Connects.
Your base vehicle was not a special order for auto sleeper, it was simply a 100L Transit with some factory options.

The ONLY wheels that fit straight on to Transits are Transit wheels.

Tata wheels will fit, but are even harder to find.

Landrover wheels do not fit without modification.

FORD MONDEO WHEELS DO NOT, HAVE NEVER, AND WILL NEVER FIT ONTO TRANSIT VANS

Ake

Take a look at:

http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&su ... 8gP3prj1Dg

This should show you a selection of Autosleeper Duettos on MK5 Transits with 14 inch, 5 spoke and 5 stud alloy wheels. I was told by a specialist aftermarket wheel supplier that these wheels were the same as fitted to a Mondeo (to 100% certainty the wheel nuts are the same as for a Mondeo).

If these wheels are not Mondeo wheels then I was misinformed when I bought locking wheel nuts for them in 2001.

You were told wrong.......

They're Tourneo wheels 8)

Try Google for Mondeo and you will see the wheels are totally wrong.

Yes, they're Tourneo Alloys, same as I have on my Mk5 :?
I've never seen a wheel on a Mondeo that looks even vaguely like these, and I'm pretty sure they've never used a 14" alloy of any description on a Mondeo, and certainly not on a 5 stud one, but yes, the studs are the same size, so the nuts would fit :)
