What size wheels for a 2001 Ford KA?

[.R2D2]

OH currently has 13" wheels with trims and wants alloys. After looking on fleebay it appears you cant get 13" alloys so the next option is 14", will that cause any problems on a 2001 model KA?

Check the aspect ratio of the tyre. If you go up in Rim diameter you'll need to come down in sidewall height to keep the rolling radius the same. If you don't do this your speedo will be inaccurate.

Bloody hell, this is causing no end of grief, thanks for the tip!

Some nice SportKa alloys would look nice. Puma 15" fan alloys look brill on a Ka.

On the KA are 165/65/13's but we have purchased 185/60/14's. So i'm guessing from what you said, that should be okay for the speedo?

Assuming the alloys are the same rim width - then your speedo will read nominally about 5-6% slow. At least you'll be on the right said of the law potentially...
