chezzy1955 Posted June 13, 2009 Report Posted June 13, 2009 Hi all, I want to buy a spare wheel for my 08 plate Mk3 galaxy hopefully from a scrap yard. Does anyone know if the wheels off anyother Ford fit and if so what models, Mondeo, Focus etc.Also can anyone explain to me what all this gargon means, 5x108 PCD and ET40-ET50 offset Thanks. Quote
Neily Posted June 14, 2009 Report Posted June 14, 2009 HiI bought a 5-stud 16" ordinary steel wheel off a Mondeo from a scrappy last year and had a part worn tyre fitted to it, bought a cheap plastic wheel cover and in the back of the car it waits. Job done and peace of mind. :) Regards, Quote

Neily Posted June 15, 2009 Report Posted June 15, 2009 Chezzy,I can't be certain what the exact year the mondy was, but I know that it was a mk2 2.0 LX. When I was at the tyre shop we put the (mondy) wheel on the Galaxy to see if things were OK and it fitted perfectly. I should say though that this size of 5 stud wheel isn't that easy to come by - it took me a fair bit of phoning around and in the end it was by luck and chance that I got what I wanted. But it had to be done. Let us know how you get on. HTH and good luck. Neily Quote
