Right, I'm taking part in the world record attempt in the near future for the most amount of donuts in one minute.
Trouble is I need some spare wheels with dodgy tyres that I can kill and I cant find any.
With that in mind, would 15" Mondeo steel wheels fit?
If not what would fit to the the back end of the 3-door?
Does anyone have any Modeo steelies that I can borrow? You'll get em back afterwards...
Cheers,
astraboy.

Yeah cheersa for the encouragement john. The record at the moment for a RWD car is 22 in one minute. I realise that I will lose out against an AWD car but I'm gonna try blag it that I can go first.
If I can manage 1 every two seconds then I might stand a chance. Then at least I can say I've HELD the donut world record

Cool

I would have thought that the Mondeo wheels would fit, as they fit my XR4x4 and the rear hubb assemblies are the same. Failing that, try Pug 405/406 wheels, they have the same stud pattern with slightly less negative offset.

Shouldn't you just use the skinniest ford wheels that will fit?
