do they fit and if so how bad do they rub and any other info on this please

adam_frst

yer they fit, quite a few people have done it, but you have to watch how much the car is lowered by, you may have to fit coilovers you may not, also the correct tyre size which the best to go for is probs 205 40 16, i think, that will stretch the tyre a bit but will stop rubbing, but correct me if im wrong

frsjon

195 40 16 would be better...

adam_frst

mega stretch tho, looks good but scary

Oranoco

Yes they can be made to fit by hacking out the arches. The car will drive like crap though afterwards as the ET25 offset and 8J rim width just makes the wheel unsuitable for use on a Mk3 Fiesta.

Looks good though

adam_frst

cant you just roll the arches? not hack at them?

Moondust_crust

will catch on the inner wing when on full lock though mate, hence "hack" cus they need work to make them fit right

littleknocks

its not worth it mate

JezSierra

wot about the cosworth look alike rims,16' off the si mondeos,is theer much work needed to fit them?

Oranoco

Nope they go straight on no messing (If you use the ET35 offset instead of the ET40 which can require spacers) anda 195/40/16 tyre.

Look rather good as well.

bradders_saph

what about fitting on a mk5 fiesta anyone know about that?

zt-adz

just put some on my mk5, they fit on but scrub on the back abit, and they stick out the arches on the front abit. look mint tho and handles amazing aswell

Oranoco

If they protrude further than the extremeties of the arch then they aren't legal and they will not only fail the MOT (if the tester is doing his/her job properly) they could potentially leave you in a fair bit of trouble with the plod.

thanks all was thinking about the mondeo rims but its juts thst fat look the 8j's give but if it drives like crap then there is no point but maybe they could be just for show season

love the look of the black rs on the mondeos thought it was my car for a mo

does any one no if they fit on the mk6? i really like them but not sure what i need to do?

adam_frst

ive seen them on a mk6 in a magazine a couple of months back, they must fit but the same with other cars the issue with the offset and rubbing issues

scottspearing

well the mk6 st comes with 17" and the arches shouldnt be any different shoul they?

Oranoco

The size isn't the problem the offset is. ET25 just isn't any good if you want the car to drive properly
