    The Important thing is the conical seat being the same as the wheel . The non capped Acorn style nuts will have a smaller OD than the OEM Capped nuts. If you live up in the road salt belt you want to remove the Capped nuts before you are stuck on the side of the road unable to change a flat tire.

    Those are factory ford lug nuts . They are a steel nut with a stainless sleeve. If you do not want trouble later find a good aftermarket Chrome replacement . The steel nut rusts under the sleeve making the nut very hard to remove.

    If the ECU was programmable to take into account the tire size difference then the tire size difference would be not much of an issue.

    The TPMS on the gen 2 Gives much more information than the ABS system . This has good point and bad points. With the right in car set up you can check the pressure and location of a soft tire. The 2014 TC does not have that , instead you get the its time to panic light. Quite annoying!!

    Looks like a cool rig.

    The steel wheels are about $60.00 new from a place like Tirerack, use that as a guide. In my case I had factory alloys , when I put a set of winters on I looked into steel wheels. As it turned out Tirerack had a nice looking set of Alloys for $75 .00 as a close out. I now have two sets of Alloys and no hub caps.

    Autel makes both rubber and metal stem TPMS Programmable sensors at a reasonable price. You don't have a problem there

    I suspect that You could Get the wheels and brakes from Ford EU or Ford UK. It would not be Cheap.

    I live on a dirt road that tire might have interesting balancing issues. I have to say I am not a big fan of studs.

    I will have to check is out, I have had no issue with the print quality when I have printed pages to take to the shop to get hand prints on.

    Nokian makes very good winter tires, The Fins know how snow tires work.

    Then the manual information I purchased as a PDf down load must come from the same place because the Illustrations and wiring information is the same. If you get the Deluxe edition you get some hyperlinks with more info.

    Welcome aboard, The photos are very nice you have a very well rigged TC.

    The manual is available from the web sight and is a pdf version of the factory manual. The cost is reasonable and the pdf is very complete. When you purchase you give the vin of your TC and it is set up for your vehicle with a complete Line ticket. https://www.factory-manuals.com/expand-ford-transit-connect-2013-2014-2015-2016-2017-2018-factory-repair-manual-344.html

    A Very Nice Job you have done!!

    The 50 and 55 aspect ratio seem to be very popular on Lots of cars. The 225/50/18 on the Malibu that's in the fleet is much harder to get tires at a reasonable price.

    Sound's like you have enough information to write a great manual it could be a best seller
  24. G B L
    Do you have a service manual for the Kids?

    I have 3 snow seasons with the TC, It is not the best winter vehicle I have had but it it is acceptable with good winter tires. You must get proficient at turning the Traction control off . Once you are able to control this feature then you will have a fairly capable vehicle.
