    Fitting my escort wheels on a fiesta

    Hi folks bit of a strange question but hope you can help

    I have various wheels for my mk2 escort road rally car that I’m trying to find a way of using on my mk6 fiesta

    they fit on the back over the drums no problem but on the front the callipers are too big


    so my question is does anyone know what callipers I could fit to make 13” wheels fit

    I’ve seen various pumas fiestas etc using 13” wheels but never found out what they use

    any ideas?

    Probably down to the discs! What size are the Fester discs - 257mm dia is usual max. for Escorts with 13's and the usual assortment of calipers from Ford, Wilwood AP etc.

    My help may not, I used some xr3 pepper pots for drifting, only on the rear and they fit over the discs on the rear with 25mm spacers, I’m running Cosworth rears, I then tried them on the front for an auto test, I have combrake b16 callipers and has to fit 25mm spacers or the hit. I’d have thought going the other way rwd fitment on a rwd car would have gone on, but obviously not

    Well,
    I’m led to believe that early pumas had 260 mm discs and that 13s will fit over
    Sierras also have a 260mm disc and had 13s but I’m unsure whether these will fit on fiesta

    Puma, fiesta, ka all have same calliper spacing but unsure on Sierra

    I think they will go on with a push but might be tight in the arches of spaces are needed
