Ford Street-ka wheel fitment — RL2
Ford Street-ka wheel fitment
Ford Street-ka wheel fitment for the Ford Street-Ka RL2 (1996–2021): the factory PCD, centre bore and bolt spec, then the aftermarket width and offset window we fit to.
| Bolt pattern (PCD) | 4x108 |
| Centre bore | 63.4 mm |
| Bolt / thread | M12x1.5 (nuts) |
| Seat type | tapered |
| Factory setup | square |
| TPMS | direct |
Aftermarket wheel sizes — read per position:
| Position | Width | Offset |
|---|---|---|
| Front | 5.5J–7.5J | ET20–ET37 |
Go wider and the offset has to rise with it, about 8 to 10 ET per extra 1J, or the wheel pokes past the arch. The fit-check settles the exact offset and any spacer.
Overview
The Ford Street-Ka RL2 is part of the first generation of the Ford Ka, manufactured from 1996 to 2008. It was produced by Ford Motor Company and later by Fiat in Tychy, Poland starting from 2008 for the second generation.
