Front disc sizes

[angus99]

I'm looking to fit new front disks to my 98 4.0l Chim which has 260 mm diameter front discs. I have done several serches on the net, however this gives three different heights (hub height I presume): 47mm / 53mm and 58 mm. Can anyone confirm which is the correct height for the discs.

if you are going for standard fit they are ford siera saphire vented non ABS fronts and rears are saphire cossie rears if they are vented. all standard ford items. any decent motor factor should have them on the shelf.

Forget the 47mm,your car will either have 53 or 58mm height discs.This will depend on wheather you have spacer washers holding your calipers out further from the upright,or not.Easiest way to check is to stick a tape measure inside your wheels and measure the distance between the rear of your wheel(where it bolts to the disc)and the disc rotor itself.The disc rotor is always 24mm,so the hub covering part of the disc,behind the wheel,will either be circa 29 or 34mm,depending on disc wear.The worst you have to do,is take the wheel off if your not confident you can measure it accurately with it on.Hope this makes sense

Thanks for the info guys, looks like its 53mm. Just to confirm I have the standard discs can anyone tell me the measurement from the centre hub to the outer edge if the disc rotor for the 2650 mm discs.
