MK2 XR2 original wheels have 185/60/13 tyres.
185 is the tyre width in mm
60 is the side wall height in mm
13 is the wheel size in inches
I changed to
165/60/14MK3 Fiesta steel wheels
This means the speedo

Oh to have a tyre with knobbles on and not a nail! A good suggestion Steve,
will investigate. Was considering using it as a planter for my petunias.
I noted that the pepperpot is a 6J rim and it has a 185/60 R13 tyre on, the
current fitted road wheels are 6J's with 165/70

Martin,
Before giving away the XR2 Pepperpot you might want to check if it is worth
anything to someone with an XR2. These cars are getting rare, so a good
condition original alloy wheel might be worth something to the right person.

Thank you everyone for your input, very helpful indeed. I like these
wheels, I can't imagine the car wearing anything else! I measured the
width of the rim as 6" when I balanced them so most likely they are a 6J.
I am changing the front brake calipers, when they arrive that is, and will
I’ve done that as well on my 2+2 and saloon.

As Jim says re wheel bolts. An alternative (which I used) is to get the hubs
machined
Subject: Re: [Quantum Owners] Re: 2+2 Alloy wheels
The 5.5J and 6J are the width of the wheel rim in inches.
You also need to look at the ET, the offset.
Ford standard for the Mk2 Fiesta is ET35, you can vary it a bit though.
But the wider you go on the rims the more important the actual
special larger bolts or adaptor washers that
fit under the existing bolts.

I've been looking at WheelBase for alternatives. Not sure what 5.5J and 6J
means but if I do replace the wheels I think
Thanks Jim.
No other numbers or markings on the wheels themselves. Profile of the rims
is fine, nice and flat inside and evidence of previous weights being
fitted. The profile was one of the default settings on the machine I used
to balance them - showing me where to place the new weights on
If your old wheels are in decent nick I may be interested in them. I'm
looking for a set of earlier wheels
In the meantime, I've also been looking on Wheelworx, alloywheels.com and
wheelbase, all seem to have 14s available with/without tyres
