Sticker inside the door lists a few different tyre sizes with 215's and 205's being on there too.


Any experts on here know the correct wheel nuts to order? I've looked on eBay and it's just awash with dodgy looking nuts.

Yours is a 1.6D, not a 2.0D?

1.6D and 215/55 is in top box and the 2.0D box.

Yep, that was why I was double-checking.

Did you check the max axle loads on the VIN plate yet?

Drop your registration in here, have tried it on two cars and came out correct.
The major problem will have is is the rolling radius between ordered and fitted, your speedo will be out.

Checked for my previous car and it is wrong and it can't find my current car.

Reg has been shown earlier in this thread.  That site does give the correct 205 size as a first choice but also states it could be 215s.  I have checked the only guaranteed correct site for the information, Ford ETIS, and confirmed it is 205Vs that came fitted from the factory.

However I wouldn't have pink valve caps. Personal preference of course.

They were probably once red to match the body

Correct. They were red when I put them on in the summer for a bit of fun (matched car colour) but they have since faded in the sun. I'll be changing them when I get round to it.  

They still look red to me

New fresh red ones were put on this week as I initially bought a huge bag of them for 99p
