Lovely car mate not too keen on the wheels though as they can bugger up the handleing of the car and they require to much fannying around with to get them to fit without rubbing.

I will look out for it at fitp

you would have been better off with 195/40/16 but if you say it only catches a bit then it should be okay with a small amount of arch trimming, whats the spec of the motor???

the car is pretty much standar at the min i had 16 mondeo rims on my old fiesta and that was ok so i think this will be fine

as for the tyres 1954016 look a bit silly on 8j rim so i went for the 2153516 they look about right

Having driven 4 or 5 Fiesta's on Cossie rims I can honestly suggest you start the hunt for some more Mondeo rims. The ET25 offset coupled to the 8J width of the EscCos items do the Fiesta no favours at all. It is a shame as they do look superb

As steve said above the amount of times people have purchased these rims then removed them as they bring no end of problems the common tyres for this conversion are front 195/40/16 rear 195/45/16.
Cornering on 8" with 215 width you will need good coil overs and a fair bit of trimming.

Looks rude but i think those wheels are going cause you problems. Ive noticed quite often when you stick big rims on a car thats had standard rims on it all its life they tend to drop a bit over the first couple of weeks with all the extra stress on everything

Very nice though

European RS accessory lights. Don't forget your bulb paint in the right hand side for your fog light though as the revers and fog are on the opposite sides on the euro clusters
