I asked this a little while ago, and think the answer was no.

As the Standard Puma wheel size is 15 inch, then i doubt it.

the only way to find out is to try, fitment an vary on the make of wheel as well as the diameter. you may just need a small spacer to get a bit more room around the caliper.

i suspct however 14" is the smallest possible and i haven't tried that yet.

If they do go on and it is has lowering spring you will want to be hype carefull as it will be an extra 1" lower than befor (1" on the radius, 2 on diameter), +the 30mm (over and inch) drop on the lowering springs - it will be rubbing its arse on the deck!

So long as they have Escort spec tyres, you won't be any lower. Only prob should be brake clearance.

Xr2i alloys defo dont fit over the 260 calliper, best thing to do is try it!!!
In fact 14" festa steels only just fit so I doubt very much 13 steels will

For anyone interested: 13" steelies wont fit over 260mm caliper setup even with a 16mm wheel spacer. However 14" ford pepperpot alloys will do! Shame I didn't have 4 of them... sad.gif

So when you have a flat!? You have to get a flatbed home and the driver muttering things like "Ya the guy had removed his rear wheel - To save Weight!!!"
