Well that kind of helped but now my question is will i have to change anything due to the width of the rim, and also. this rim is off a 2010 Escape. with 5x114.3 bolt pattern. i can get them for free

im just curious as to what the 2010 Escape wheels look like.. pics pls.

it's not the prettiest but i can't get them for free.

Ew, but what's the offset?

 

[lilrob2069]

Thats the thing i don't know i can't find it on the ford catalog for the offset. whats a good way to find out exactly. haven't dealt much with rims.

H = High Positive or FWD (Front Wheel Drive) typically +45,40,35 offsets

Came from: Ford 2 _ Vehicle Bolt Pattern Reference

Any idea what these wheels weigh? Are you just looking for change, or are the 2g OE wheels messed up?

Free is good, because you can resell for profit.

Resell would be good, but due to some reason that i cannot tell i am not allowed to resell them. now what is the usual offset for our rims. my 2g are getting kind of boring. and i made the unfortunate mistake in putting new tires. on them.

Sweet! They fixed it since the last time I went there.

Okay, so now looking at both sites. Thank You guys. my last question is if our 2g rims have a 46mm of set and the rims im thinking about putting on have between 34-45 mm offset will these in anyway rub or no. I know that by playing with that calculator, that with the offset set at 33 mm, the backspacing is exactly the same. if i bump it up to 45 its 12mm difference than our stock rims. i think they will fit but before i go buying tires. i want to be sure. also i will probably have a set of 2g rims with brand new tires. for sale. if this works


after further playing is says that Package is 9 mm (0.4'') closer to suspension/brakes components. and Package will stick out 11 mm (0.4'') farther so i believe this will work am i right.

ok nevermind after putting them up to the car i realized they looked kind of ghetto. so if landoawd wants to he can delete this post.

Nah, a couple of good links and some offset info (despite it being in other threads).

We'll call this a "lesson learned" about slapping Fuuuurd chromies on a sports car.

Yea, lesson definitely learned. Don't have any clue what i was thinking. but i did find out that one of my rims is slightly bent. does anyone know of a good way to fix it. when you spin the tire on the machine you can see a spot where it kind of flattens out. i think if i just get it fixed and then paint them they would look better. Thinking about black, but i don't know how to really get the whole polished lip on them. any ideas.
