Trouble with rims

Postby Cat78 » Sat Sep 09, 2017 6:21 pm

Hi all
New to the world of Ford connect. Got myself a ford focus but having just got myself a 06 connect, I'm having trouble getting a hold of wheel rims as been told to put 16" on them, but see that everyone else has 15". So really need this clarified and can I put any rims on them or do they have to be connect ones on it.

The latest Connects have 16" rims as standard, but 5 bolt Ford car rims will also fit (Focus, Mondeo etc)
1994 Mk4 SWB 115 Minibus 70ps Di (R.I.P.)
1997 Mk5 SWB 115 Minibus 70ps Di (Gone, but not forgotten!)
2004 Mk6 SWB T280 Medium Roof 85PS 2.0 TDDi - Vantunered (Also gone)
2008 Mk7 SWB T280 Medium Roof 85PS 2.2 TDCi - Also Vantunered
