Ford Sierra solid rear discs - smaller offset alternatives?
Discussion
Does anybody know of any alternatives for Ford Sierra solid rear discs that have a smaller offset? I've checked other Ford options but they all seem to have a larger offset.
For reference my current Sierra discs are 253mm diameter, 10mm thick , 63mm hub bore and 4 stud on 108mm PCD, overall height 33mm (i.e. the distance from the in board face of the disc to the outer hub face where it contacts the wheel). Ideally I require something 20-25mm overall height.
I thought I had found suitable Peugeot 205 or 206 discs of a similar diameter and same stud hole arrangement but they will not fit over the hub. Any other options?
Last resort option is to fit a spacer between the hub and disc to push it out, ideally I'd rather not though.
TIA

Get the Peugeot discs bored out to fit the hub? It would have to be done very precisely to maintain concentricity!
It is the Pug disc bell that won't fit over the Ford hub by some 20mm across the diameter.The Pug discs are actually too big centre bore wise (70mm odd rather than the Ford 63mm) thus would require centring rings machining up.

If the ford discs don't foul anything can you not space the calipers

That's part of the potential solution to the problem. Issue I have is the handbrake cable fouling the end of the lower wishbone, so my thoughts were to space the caliper out by 8mm ish to provide the necessary clearance and combine it with a disc with smaller offset. Other option is to add a similar thickness spacer between the disc and hub to make the disc align with the caliper.Ian
Machining or drilling discs are easy, they're very soft metal anyway
