Hello,

I have a Ford Fiesta MK5 Freestyle 2002, and I am buying 16" Cosworth wheels to replace the wheels on the car at the moment which are 14" 5 spoke alloy (standard wheels). I have already brought Toyo Proxes 195/40 R16, and I'm not too sure how much or if I should lower the car by? I would buy lowering springs, not coilovers. If you could give me advice on the best make to buy from and how much you reckon I should lower it by then that would be great!

Also, would I need to change the wheels nuts to a bigger size or should they be ok on 16" Cosworth wheels?

Thanks

 

cosworth 8" wide wheels stick out too far better off with mondeo 6.5j x 16s

 

I ran 16" x8j sierra track wheels with 205,s on my old mk5 zetec s
They stuck out a little at the front but it weren't that bad
But it did not lower it

I ran the same wheels on my old puma ( before they went on the fiesta )
Thet had cut slicks on then and that handled really good
They fitted the puma better the the fiesta
