Wheel fitments on Robin Hood/Dax Rush models
Discussion
Got a set of Team Dynamics Monza alloy wheels here taken from a Robin Hood kit car which I plan to list on ebay. I'm trying to work out the offset, although can't actually measure it as the tyres are still fitted. They also fit a Dax Rush perfectly.
They're 4x108 PCD alright, but the offset seems more like a Peugeot fitment, even though the cars use Ford running gear. Obviously Ford adn PSA use the same 4x108 PCD fitment, but use completely different offsets. Does anyone know if RH or Dax chose to use a Peugeot offset to compensate for a wider body? I've tried fitting a Ford alloy wheel to the Dax and it's not even close. It rubs the brakes, the cycle wing stays....everything.
Also, the Team Dynamics wheels use a removable spigot, which is approx 63mm in our case.....Ford fitment. I'm guessing they would otherwise have the 65mm spigot....Peugeot fitment.
Annoyingly there is nothing marked on the rim, other than the size of the rim. I'm just trying to identifiy them a bit, and hopefully not list them with false information!
I know that sounds as clear as mud, but hopefully someone will be reading this and suddenly something will click!
Cheers

Later fords with sliding calipers use ET35-38 wheels, earlier RWD fords use ET19 ish wheels (similar to peugeot).
Not that it makes a blind bit of difference as the car is no longer a ford, they'll be fitted with whatever offset wheel suits the car that they're fitted to...
Thanks Adam, that's cleared it all up.Not that it makes a blind bit of difference as the car is no longer a ford, they'll be fitted with whatever offset wheel suits the car that they're fitted to...
