Supplied as a pair.

• Hub depth: 61 mm, measured from the brake-disc mounting flange to the wheel-mounting face.
• Wheel offset: +10 mm relative to the original 51 mm Mk2 Cortina hub; the wheel-mounting face moves outwards by 10 mm per side.

Important Fitting Information

• The additional 10 mm wheel offset provides clearance for vented brake discs with the thicker aluminium wheel-stud mounting flange.
• Longer wheel studs are required due to the increased mounting flange thickness.
• The increased offset can improve tyre-to-coilover-spring clearance, particularly with wider tyres such as 185/60R13.
• Check wheel-to-arch clearance before installation because the wheel-mounting face is further outwards.
