Ive been in 2 motor shops today pricing front disks for 6 stud front wheels!!! both shops say impossible they must be 5 stud went through all there books and computer and can't find disks so I went back home to check in case I was wrong but they are 6 stud any ideas folks?

Forget trying to buy from using the amount of studs :!:

You need either Transit 150 or 190 front discs.

254mm is for 14" wheels. - NOT for you.

You need 270mm for 15" wheels :)

I think the shops were confused as whether wheels are 5 or 6 stud, the discs are held to the hub by 5 bolts!

Funnily enough... someone on facebook had exactly the same problem last week.

Just ask for discs for 15" wheels and they will give you the right ones
