i have a frst and i have just bought some 16" mondeo wheels what tyres are best? and do they rub? cos i done want to cut my arches ad rather just sel them and get some others wheels

 

195/45 is what you need REGARDING the cutting of the arch/body kit depends on WHAT size wheel you got as there are 2 types 6.5j and 7j!

 

how can i find out ? thanks for the reply

 

look at the inside of the wheels should be stamped with what size they are m8

 

ok al go have a look

 

There are 2 different offsets as well ET35 and ET40. The 35 is the preferred of the 2.

I would not agree with the tyre size suggested and instead would suggest a 195/40/16 as it will be closer to the original rolling radius and minimise the chances of needing arch trimming or rolling.

Personally I would go with a 15" rim, ET35 and J7 width running a good quality 195/45/15. Works a treat, allows bigger brakes, retains ride comfort and keeps it handling right.

 

also depends on what shocks and springs your using and their condition, ive had both 6.5 and 7. the rears are not much of a problem however you may need spacers to clear the rear shock. End of the day everyones fiesta is different, you may neeed to do trial and error so get 2 tyres fitted first and try on front and rear before you go splashing out!
imo on the fronts 195/40/16s and rear 195/45/16

 

it sounds like to much messing might sell them lol

 

my next door neighbour has these on his fez turbo and he says they catch on 195/40/16 and his car drives crap on them

 

i dont think am going to bother now lol
