mk3 mondeo are they strong enough for a transit ?

[MONSTER 0NE]

Hi guys, just a quick question would a set of mk3 5 stud alloys be up to the job on a mk 5 100 sht lwb, of course using the right adapters on the back and redrilling the front hubs ? also what sort of prices are commercial rated tyres likely to cost on either 17's and 18's ? cheers for any info.

If i remember rightly they are 108 not sure of the offset though, mind you thinking about it wreckersteve used mondeo mk3 ghia alloys on his swb minibus

just check there isnt a weight stamped on the alloys - if there is it needs to be same of above the vans axle load

but mondeo should be ok

ok thats what i like to hear any ideas on the tyre issue ?

[Luke]

same for the tyres you need ones like the sport van with a high weight load you can get them but they arnt cheep

work out the axle loads on your van 1st

will do, but gotta get the van first
then off down to see a couple of mates at local tyre places who owe me a few favours

will do, but gotta get the van first

make it easier for yourself and get an 80 then

nah need at least a 100 lwb, ive got my eye on one just need to sort the funds out, mind you when i get it i might be placing a order with you , for some nice redrilled front hubs as the ones you have done in that thread look good
