Can you put 17" wheels on a fiesta rs turbo???

If i had spax lower 30mm and rear bump stops???

Cheers,

Jim

 

Yes, I've heard the suspension is a bit arse, i had 16" on my old fiesta and it handled fine its just the scrubbing problem on the front arches, for 17" you will have to take the plastic kit off cut the metal arch right up to the mounting point for the kit and then trim the plastic arch right to the edge that should just about do it, go for 15" less bother and awesome handling

 

It for my mates fiesta rs turbo i said go for 15" wheels but he like the for diamond cut wheels.

Ill tell then he might change his mind.

Cheers,

Jim

 

As said it can be done with a lot of arseing around but it totally changes the drive of the car!! Would definatly recommend to go 16" or 15" for much better handling

 

Oh dear.. as if normal 17's aren't hard enough to fit

 

Lou Lou yours look nice! What size are they?

Jim

 

17's on a Fiesta Mk3 is a really naff idea. It will make the car look like a hot wheels toy and it completely stuffs the cars handling (and it's not that great to start with).

15's are by far the best bet but a 16 can be acceptable

 

Cheers old boy ill let my mate no im hoping he will listen and go for the smaller wheels,

Cheers,

Jim

 

Mine are 16's the car still handles great and i have no rubbing at all

 

You can get the diamond cut rs 7 spokes in the correct 16" fittment if you look hard enough

17's will make the handling and ride really shit

 

my mate is running 215 35 18 on his and it looks fat! but he drives at 30 mph everyware so he dosent smash his car up

 

18's on a Fiesta it must look like a fookin monster truck!

 

18's on a fezz???deffo a no no

 

18's

 

I know the car well and yes, my comments stand. Way OTT on a Fiesta

 

Fair play for getting them to fit but i think they are far too big

 

Ive had 7.5x17's, 8x16's and 6x16 and i do think it fealt the best on 17's, but i think thats just me, i'm after 17's for my corsa now as i dont like the feel on 16's

 

Felt best on 17's

 

Exactly.
