I'm after buying a set of drag slicks for my fiesta just after info on what ones are best and what sort of money they are!

Cheers Dean

 

You need a set that will fit under your arches or you will have the same issue I had.

What size wheels/tyre can you fit under the arch without it rubbing?

 

205 50 15's are the max mate

 

Really think you will struggle mate without any mods.

With the drag slick they are really tall like fitting a (205 80 15) and in 15” you won’t get them under your arches.

Its either cut your wings out ( as in a good 3-4” around) or fit 13/14” wheels with drag slicks.

If you see below, 1st pic is 205/50/15 with standard arches



This pic is with the same 205/50/15 tyre but with the arches modified to take the drag wheels.



Then this pic is with the 26 x 8.0 x 15 drag slick. They are Massive!

 

I've got BFG Goodrich drag radials in around 205/60/15 I think. Never tried one on the Fiesta but certainly wouldn't have gone on without work.

 

Think I'm abit stuck then can't get 14's over my brakes might have to get a brake kit sorted for the old girl!

 

What brakes are you on mate? Can't be bothered to find a copy of the mag lol

 

This its cossie stuff on Deans

 

Not being funny Dean, but since you're the quickest FWD, you really should be telling other people what tyre to use

 

If you has the same as my old set up of 4x4 Cossie callipers with Escort RS2000 discs then the right 14 inch wheels WILL fit

 

This is soooo true..... come on Dean whats the trick?

 

ive only ever ran r888

Haha drive it like you hate it lol and i always try to snap the gear sick when changing gear!

As for my brakes there escort cosworth calipers and saph discs i rang compbrake the other day for a price on a brake setup Ł980 all in a little more than i wanted to spend tho

 

What size are those discs? RS2000 discs are direct fit and 260mm I think. and they go under 14s.

 

I think there 280mm of the top of my head

 

260, I just put them Ali.g with 2000 calipers under my standard frst wheels
