See Ford Excursion wheel fitment information for other model years:

The size of the hole in the center of a wheel is known as the center bore or centerbore.

Offset is the distance in millimetres from the centre line of the wheel to the wheel’s mounting face. Given that the mounting face can be either in front of or behind the centreline, the offset can be either neutral, positive or negative.

The Pitch Circle Diameter (PCD) is the diameter of the circle which passes through the centre of all the studs, wheel bolts or wheel rim holes

hp - Mechanical horsepower kW - Kilowatts PS - Metric horsepower

Wheel backspace is the distance from a wheel's mounting surface to the back edge of the wheel.

Tire pressure is a vehicle's recommended cold tire inflation pressure. It is measured in bars or PSI (pounds per square inch).

A sales region is a global automotive region in which a vehicle was officially sold or is still being sold.

Ex.: 7J x 15 Rim width (inches) x rim diameter (inches)

ISO standard Ex.: M12 x 1.25 Nominal diameter (mm) x pitch (mm)

UN-series Ex.: 9/16" - 18 UNF Thread size (in) - thread pitch UNF - Unified National Fine Thread

Example: 215/55 R16 91 T

215 is the tire width in mm 55 is the ratio of profile height to width or simply 'profile'. With the same width, the larger this indicator, the higher the tire will be and vice versa 16 - diameter of the wheel (disk) in inches. (It is the diameter, not the radius!). This is the inner size of the tire or the outer size of the rim 91 - load index. This is the level of maximum permissible load on one wheel T - tire speed index

The method of attaching a wheel to a hub: wheel nuts or wheel bolts

The torque value specified by the manufacturer for wheel bolts or wheel nuts, which is to be set when tightening on the torque tool (torque setting). A rotational force given in Newton metres (Nm) or foot-pounds (ft-lbs), wheel torque measures lug nut / bolts tightness

The tires included with a new vehicle when it is purchased. OE tires are specifically chosen by the vehicle manufacturer to make the most of the vehicle's performance characteristics.

Tires and wheels sizes for Ford Excursion 2000

Ford excursion 2000 5.4i.

Sales market: US domestic market (USDM) Engine: V8, Petrol Power: 255 hp (258 PS, 190 kW)

What wheels sizes are recommended by the manufacturer

The Ford Excursion 2000 5.4i is fitted with 7Jx16 ET6.3 rims with tires 0/75 R16 as standard. Where is:

• 7J — rim width in inches;
• 16" — fitting rubber diameter in inches;
• ET6.3 — offset of the disk in millimeters.

Vehicle tyre markings 0/75 R16 are deciphered as follows:

• 0 — PROFILE width (cross section of the tyre) in millimetres;
• 75 — profile height in percentage of its width;
• R — radial winding of the cord;
• 16 — tyre diameter in inches..

Using the recommended tire sizes will help to avoid problems with driving management, safety and other difficulties. What non-standard sizes can be fitted? Please refer to the table above for possible alternative sizes for tuning. Although there may be other options that we have not described in the table. For example, discs that are wider than the same diameter. Or fit wheels of the same width, but of a larger diameter, which is quite popular among car owners. The choice of disks is huge, you can find copies with the same parameters, but with a offset size of 1-2 millimeters more or less. It is not possible to list all the options.

In this case, the bolt pattern is the same for all types of wheels — 8x170. Thus, all discs are mounted on eight bolts and the distance between them is exactly one hundred seventy millimeters. Car hub diameter 125 mm.

Typical tyre pressure — 45 PSI (3.1 / 3.8 bar).

General summary information

Expert advices

When choosing rubber for a car, you must first be guided by the manufacturer's instructions. Ask yourself a few questions.

• On which roads will the car be mainly used?
• Do you need increased cross-country ability?
• Which part of the road will be the city roads and which highway?
• Will the vehicle carry heavy loads?

Answers to these and similar questions will help determine which tire parameters need special attention.

How to choose the correct car wheels for Ford Excursion 2000?

3 types of wheel rims:

• Stamped (economical price category) — made from a sheet of iron by stamping on the press.
• Alloy — made by "casting" (more reliable than stamped).
• Forged (best quality and more expensive than the previous ones) — are made of light alloys by means of stamping at high temperatures.

The choice depends on financial possibilities. However, it should be borne in mind that the quality of the road surface on which one has to drive every day also has to be taken into account.

Thus, in case of hitting a road pit, the stamped disc will bend and will not harm the tire, and forged or cast tire can break it. There is a possibility that the molded disc may burst or crack.

It should also be noted that repairing "stamping" is cheaper than repairing cast or forged discs. But wheels with high-quality alloy and forged wheels less kill the suspension, because it is lighter and has a more perfect geometry (better balanced).

The same wheels can be rubbed with tires or not rubbed on the same car — the “wheel alignment” adjustment will help here.

What is the tyre pressure?

It is the driver's responsibility to constantly monitor tyre pressure. This will avoid standard problems associated with the operation of the vehicle. Non-nominal pressure values often cause:

• driving impairments;
• uneven tread wear.

Often the car owner independently reduces the pressure in the wheels of his own vehicle. This reduces the load on the suspension, the car is an order of magnitude easier to "pass" the various road irregularities. But it should be noted that a decrease in pressure even by 0.1 PSI leads to serious problems. The main ones include:

• higher fuel consumption;
• fast wear of extreme tread segments;
• less maneuverable.

Equally problematic is the pumped wheel. The central part of the balloon starts to stack quickly. In addition, if the ambient temperature is more than 140 °F (60 degrees Celsius), the tire can simply explode. Which will lead to an exit in the oncoming lane.

Do you want your Ford Excursion to be amazing and stylish with a brand new collection of wheels? Please don't waste your time and efforts on this investigation, cause from now our committed company will share all that you should know about changing wheels. And let's start out with the fundamental wheel features: diameter, width, center hole, and bolt fitment.The diameter of the wheel is measured without a tiresport and usually appears to be between 14 and 19 inch. The larger sizes belong to sport cars, SUVs, and trucks. One can find the information about the rim size in the owner's handbook or through the charts listed below.

The tire size of the Ford Excursion is based on the wheel width, and once you know it, you may choose between a number of tire options. The center hole of any new wheel settles its fitting to the vehicle. In the event the new hole is bigger than the standard one, then a spigot ring might help. However, if the new wheel's hole is smaller, it won't help your model. The main wheel features to take into account are bolt patterns and wheel offset. If the amount of bolts and the intervals between them doesn't coincide with the ones from your wheel, this kind of items won't match your Ford Excursion.

Vehicles by Wheel Bolt Pattern

Wheel bolt pattern by make and model, ford excursion wheel and bolt pattern sizes:, additional wheel / measurement information.

Wheel Dimensions

There are four important measurements that are used to categorize and identify a wheel for fitment purposes.

• Rim Diameter The actual diameter of the wheel at the point where the tire bead seats ( NOT the outer lip of the rim).
• Rim Width Measure from the inside of the outer lip at the bead seating point to the inner lip.
• Back Spacing From the inside of the wheel at the point where it contacts the hub, brake drum or axle flange to the inside edge (lip) of the wheel.
• Bolt Pattern The measured diameter of an imaginary circle formed by the centers of the wheel lugs or bolt holes.

How To Measure Wheel Bolt Pattern

If there is an EVEN number of lugs: Measure center-to-center on lugs directly across from each other.

If there is an ODD number of lugs: Measure from the CENTER of one lug to the OUTER EDGE of the hole diagonally across from it.

Lug Nut Types

Alloy wheels should always be installed using a torque wrench ensuring proper mount. Check your vehicle owner manual for specifications. Learn More: How To Properly Torque Lug Nuts / Lug Bolts

Hub Center Bore

Wheel Offset

Wheel offset is the distance from the mounting surface of the wheel to the true center line of the rim. A positive offset means the mounting surface of the wheel is positioned in front of the true center line of the rim / tire assembly. This in effect brings the tire in to the fender well more. Conversely, a negative offset means the mounting surface of the wheel is behind the true center line of the rim / tire assembly. This will cause the tire to stick out away from the vehicle.

H = High - Positive Offset, typically FWD (Front Wheel Drive) +45, 40, 35 offsets

M = Medium - Neutral Offset, typically RWD (Rear Wheel Drive) +20 offset

L = Low - Zero to Negative Offset, Offset typically RWD (Rear Wheel Drive) 0 offset

All excursions are run by experienced, licensed guides who will show you Moscow’s most beautiful places and tell you about their wonderful history and legends about them.

  DAY1 | MUST-SEE MOSCOW SIGHTS

• Red Square – Moscow's and Russia’s main square, where the Victory Day Parade is held annually in May.
• St Basil’s Cathedral (including interior) – undoubtedly one of the most recognisable cathedrals in the world. Its fairy-cake like domes are unmistakeable.
• Lenin’s Mausoleum – here the founder of the Soviet Union still lies embalmed 90 years after his death. He was briefly joined by Stalin, but Stalin's body was buried behind the mausoleum during the de-Stalinisation period.
• Aleksandrovsky Gardens – these beautiful gardens run along the northern wall of the Kremlin, where once the River Neglinnaya flowed before being diverted underground – previously the kremlin was surrounded on all sides by water. There are many interesting memorials here to historical figures.
• Zaryadye Park - thanks to the creation of this wonderful new park in the very centre of Moscow, the beautiful churches of Ulitsa Varvarka are no longer hidden away and new views of the kremlin and river have been opened up.
• Christ the Saviour Cathedral (including interior) – this is Russia’s main cathedral and one of its largest. It was rebuilt after the fall of the Soviet Union on the site of the original, which was destroyed on the orders of Stalin to make way for a giant Palace of the Soviets. However the palace was never built and instead there was an open-air swimming pool here during the Soviet period.
• Bolshoi Theatre - this is one the most famous ballet theatres for in the world. It is a symbol of Russian culture and national pride. Its name though rather unglamorously translates as Big Theatre.

7 best mint moscow mule recipes.

Nov 13, 2019

In this post, we reveal the best Mint Moscow Mule recipes on the internet. From everything from the classic Mint Mule recipe to creative variations that will have your friends impressed, we've got your covered. Let's dive in!

Introduction

The Moscow Mule cocktail has been around since the early 1940s. For almost eighty years, several variations of the drink have been developed. The Mint Moscow Mule is one of the most refreshing versions and for a good reason, too. While the traditional Moscow Mule recipe contains vodka, ginger beer, and lime juice, this recipe has mint added. If you’re in the mood for more exciting options, you can choose your favorite fruits, such as berries and peaches, to add an extra kick of flavor to the cocktail. When you need a cool-down drink on those hot summer days, there are endless choices for how you can prepare a damn good Mint Moscow Mule.

As you may already know, mint is an herb that has managed to infiltrate many drinks and food recipes. With a Mint Moscow Mule drink, the herb brings in its signature lingering and sweet flavor. This provides an excellent contrast to the sharp mix of ginger beer and vodka. 

The cocktail is quite versatile because there are lots of potential flavor combinations. There are tens of mint varieties that you can use. Spearmint, peppermint, chocolate mint, and orange mint are just a few of the common options. This means that you’re spoiled for choice when it comes to figuring out what kind of mint goes into your Mint Moscow Mule.  

Preparing the Best Mint for Your Moscow Mule

While mint will add both aroma and flavor to your drink, beware that this will not be the case if you just drop the leaves or sprig into your drink. Menthol, the oil found in mint leaves, is the extract that gives the herb its taste and scent. 

To get the most out of this important oil, you can do the following to your mint while preparing the cocktail:

• Slap the leaves between your palms. This distresses them enough to expose the oil inside. 
• Use a muddler, which is a pestle-like tool commonly used by bartenders to smash herbs to release their flavor. A wooden spoon or other similar kitchen utensils can also get the work done. However, be cautious not to crush the leaves too hard, as they will end up releasing a bitter taste that will ruin your drink. 

Always use fresh, tender mint for the best results. The younger the sprigs, the better. Old, browned, or bruised leaves will not give you the minty flavor or green look you’re after.

Serving Your Minty Moscow Mule

You'll enjoy your minty cocktail served on ice or chilled. Garnish this lovely libation with lime, mint, or whichever other fruit you have used in the preparation. And, to add a bit of tradition, it’s best served in a copper mug that preserves its cold temperature.

In the following section, we’ll take a look at some of the best Mint Moscow Mule  recipes. As you’ll find out, they’re all packed with so much more than just a heartwarming, minty flavor and taste. If you’ve been wondering about how to make a Moscow Mule with mint, here you go:

Moscow Murder Part of a Pattern

Author, "Blood and Politics: The History of the White Nationalist Movement from the Margins to the Mainstream"

by Leonard Zeskind

The November 16 murder of Ivan Khutorskoy in Moscow underscores the growing threat of ultra-nationalist violence in the Russian Federation. Khutorskoy, a well-known anti-fascist activist and a leader of the Red Anarchist Skinheads (RASH) group, was gunned down near the entrance of his home. Readers of this article in the United States should remember that Denver radio talker Alan Berg was killed by members of The Order in June 1984 in just such a fashion. Mississippi NAACP leader Medgar Evers was similarly assassinated as he was coming home in June 1963 by Byron De La Beckwith, a white supremacist with multiple affiliations. Each of these incidents was part of a larger pattern connected to racist and far right political movements. And understanding this problem in Russia today provides an essential piece of the looking glass needed to conquer this problem in the USA.

As I have noted before , the current situation is rooted in the collapse of the Soviet Union and the independence of territories and countries that had been linked to Greater Russia since the time of the Tsars. The end of Soviet Union occasioned a period of dire--famine like in some instances--economic circumstances. Society was in crisis and the birthrate declined sharply and suicides were up. As the Baltic states, Ukraine, and Georgia and others peeled off one by one, ultra-nationalist organizations promoted their own plans for restoring the "greatness" of the past. Racism against people from the Caucuses countries and regions became overt and commonplace. Once again, anti-Semitism emerged, as conspiracy theories about Jews supplemented the standard "anti-Zionist" rhetoric of the Soviet era.

Dozens of organizations--from well-known outfits like Pamyat to Barkashov's Russia National Unity Party to Zhironovsky's so-called Liberal Democrats --ran candidates for parliament and fostered paramilitary units in the streets of the cities at the same time. Their ideological permutations ranged from an odd form of Soviet revanchism known as National Bolshevism to a particularly xenophobic incarnation of the Russian Orthodox Church. One and all appealed to a form of ultra-nationalist sentiments remarkably akin to the white nationalism at work in American society.

Each year the violence has accelerated. The Sova Center for Information and Analysis in Moscow counted 444 victims of racist attacks in 2005; 38 of them killed. In 2007 that number jumped to 85. In 2008, 97 people were murdered in racist attacks, the greatest number natives of Central Asia. Vandalism has remained high, and Jewish sites have been targeted most often. In the first four months of 2009, the Sova Center tracked 23 killings by racists and ultra-nationalists, including the daylight shooting last January of Stanislav Markelov, a 34-year old human rights attorney, and Anastasia Barburova, a 25-year old reporter. By any measure, the most recent murder of Khutorskoy was anything but a tit-for-tat among fascists and anti-fascists, as some reports have intimated.

While the presidential elections last March gave the most votes to Dimitry Medvedev, a veritable junior partner to the Valdimir Putin, Vladamir Zhironvsky took a noticeable third place, with almost seven million votes, 9.4% of the total. Zhironovsky has made a career of meeting with and coddling white nationalists from the United States such as David Duke. Whatever the meaning of Putin's own form of Russian nationalism, Zhironovsky's continued standing in the polls points at a problem far deeper and much wider.
