Have a set of 14" ones if that's any good.

Don't fit 14" to a 350 because no-one makes any suitable tyres - see various earlier threads. Fit 15" or 16".

I concur with the 14" wheel sentiment. Oh dear, now I won't be able to sell my 14" wheels, which by the way the P.O. had refurbished, they look great, shame there are no tyres in 205/60VR14 anymore.

Marsho, the reason I have the 14" wheels is because I upgraded to 15" to get the better tyres. So agree with previous comments. If you are still interested let me know, but I would be inclined to hold out for 15" ones.Having said that I don't want anything for them, so I guess it depends what your budget it. Regards.

There's lots and lots of Ford Grandads in loot etc for sale with 15" alloys, perhaps that is the best answer for a budget solution?

Do Ford G wheels have the correct width and offset?

Ford Granada MK 2 are the correct wheels for the Wedge. I would have thought that most of the Granada wheels in Loot are for a MK 3 Granada.

I wonder if anyone can shed light on when the Mark II grandads were made ? I am assuming there was an overlap with the initial Wedge production circa starting 1979. ?

I think they were made until about 1985 but surely you're better off buying some 350 wheels second-hand.

Yep, got some second hand Wedge Wheels, and now I'm going to have them refurbished. I checked in my Ford Grandad Haynes manual, and the stock wheels are 5.5Jx14, 6Jx14 , or 150TRX390FH. I guess the last ones are some kind of wierd metric wheel, that no doubt you can't get tyres for anymore. Interesting to note these Grandads had IRS in 1977!
