I recently got some Racing Puma Front brakes for my Fiesta but sadly they don't fit under my Group A Speedlines or any of the other 16s I have... Assumption is a terrible thing.. Silly fat Alcons!

I've always thought of 17s as being abit too big for a Fiesta. Will some bigger wheels affect the driving that much? Slightly slower acceleration and abit less nimble I'm guessing.

Which 16s are good for taking bigger brakes? I do fancy some MOs

Any input would be great.

 

on 17's the ride is alot harsher but i personally didnt find much of a difference between 16'and 17's...get some comp's if you can afford them...

 

The harshness isnt really an issue to be honest. On coilies and rose joints. Cant get much worse..

I'll have a hunt for some 6 spoke MO's... Reyland the place for Comp stuff I take it?

 

Wouldn't put 17's on a Fiesta if you paid me. They ruin the way teh car drives and handles, they are just too damn big. If you can't get them under 16's I would punt them on or add them to your spares drawer for use another day. TBH from experience I beleive going bigger than a 15" rim on the Fiesta is a bad idea.

 

..mine was on coilovers and 17's for years as a every day car...
