I'd say 16" with the standard kit.. suits them and fills the arch nicely.

16s are a fair compramise. i prefer 15s for handling.

i had the 16" version of your wheels. handling was fine - filled the arch nicely and i could fit some big stoppers behind. ideal for me as they look clean and not too flash! the problem with 16" and upwards is the width of the wheel. fiesta's weren't built for 8" tyres - stick with what you have i say!
