got myself a stupidly low mileage mk4 fiesta as a daily run about, minter, only issues being that its only a 1.25 and also a 5 door lol

seeing as its only a run around for work, speed isnt an issue, so just want it lookin nice, so just want to get some nice wheels on it and get it lowered

so, anybody in the know, whats a good wheel size and lowering spring size combination to go for? dont really want to go bigger than 16s at most either

any info/advice/opinions would be great, cheers

15s with 195/50/15 tyres, 30-40mm drop imo

15's would probaly be a bit better for ride comfort especially for a work car,

standard zetec s wheels with st170 wheels look the titis imo especialt painted a dark colour

you mean with st170 center caps lol. they do look good but as my mate found out the caps get nicked all the time as well lol

I agree, just keep it simple, and use rims for the ford family. Sport Ka rims would look ok.

Or even better just some fiesta rims, like of the zetec s, nice and subtle.

Just swap springs for some simple 30/40mm lower.

This way its wont cost much, the car can be put back to stock in about 2 hours, and you wont look like a chav tit in their first car.

1.9 xr2 on 40's

i cut my springs in half and ran 195 50 15's
she handled well but rotted away and i had to batter the arches up

cut springs are dangerous. get eibachs. wouldnt go bigger than 15's on a mk5/5 either. ive 17's but thats the size mine came with standard

Original springs or uprated?
