As long as the spacing isn't a huge amount. Also, they tend to shorten the life of wheel bearings.

Depending on the year of the Fiesta you can get a spacer kit from Ford that sits between the wheel bearing and hub on the rear (thats whats used on the Sport Ka and Racing Puma)...

I need to change the offset of my alloys to fit and the spacers must be 21mm and 28mm bolted onto the hub and then the wheels bolted onto the spacers. No company does such sizes so i`ll need to get them custom made. I know they can be done and i thought someone might suggest somebody here
