have a mk4 fiesta, looking to lower 30mm with the fiesta st150 brakes fitted, will the 15" escort tgi alloys fit ? with them having a different offset etc? I know the 16's are too big, rub slightly and sit to near rear suspension! thanks in advanced, Daniel!

 

16s are fine with right tyre size, and 15s fit fine especially 15" escort gti alloys running 50 or 45 profile tyres

 

tried 16"s on with 205/50/16 profile of tyres with a 5 mm spacer and still have a slight rub on full lock, and rear suspension strut dead close to inside of rear tyre? cant see these fitting with me looking to lower the car ?

 

205/50/16 is mondeo sized tyres so totally wrong for a starters so no wonder why they rubbed, correct tyre size for that wheel is 195/45/16 and it will work and you dont even need front wheel spacers with that size either and can go up to a 12.5mm spacer on rear with no bother and thats if wanting to push the rear wheels out, best thing is to fit axle spacers not nasty slip on wheel spacers

 

didn't know that! young and slightly new to this. Give this a try thanks for your time and information much appreciated.

 

no probs matey
