That wheel style was available in both ET35 and ET40 offsets. iirc the GTi comes with the ET40 offset. ET35 is the best for a mk3 Fiesta so some 5mm spacers may be a worthwhile investment but see how you get on.

there is a lad round here with a lowered red 2i running GTi rims without spacers.

personally id go for the mondeo 16" wheels same as the GTi rims, they look really well on 2i's and fezza turbo's

Cheers guys the ones ive got are the et40 offset so i may need some spacers i think i'll just have to have a try on and see how they sit.
Ive got a set of the mondy wheels aswell but the cars not lowered so i thought it might look like it was on stilts lol

I got a set of wheels and tried them on the car the fronts sit fine but the rears need a spacer as they catch the spring mount on the shock.
Ive got to do the rear breaks soon anyway so whilst there off im going to fit some longer studs so enough threads engage in the nuts then get some spacers on there.
