Wheels, brakes and related stuff...
Discussion
Hi folks,
Been searching for alloys for my '98 Chimaera for ages, finally found some I quite like. Problem is they are Peugeot fitment and I thought Ford fitment was recommended.
4x108 pattern, 7.5J front and 9J rear, offset 30&15.
I know the stud pattern is OK but I'd like to know if the width and ET are OK for the rear? Also, as much as I prefer the idea of 16s all round, will I be causing myself a load of issues when it comes to upgrading brakes with new calipers etc. as I've been told I may struggle to fit bigger stuff behind the 16s as opposed to having 17s.

As discussed on a different post, you will struggle with ET15 on the rears. It's no problem to reduce a too high ET (offset) number by using spacers, but you can't increase an ET number.
For reference, the ET number is the distance in millimetres that the hub face of the wheel is outwards from the centre line of the wheel. In other words how many millimetres the wheel sits further into the wheel arch than a wheel with the hub face bang on the centre line.
