great looking car as always. loads better those those multi spoke wheels imo! with brakes like that you need to be showing them! not sure these look right tho. tough decision cos all the wheels i would have liked on my fez would be too wide! 
could always go for some common mondeo 5 spokes like i had on mine!

not too worried about the arches cos i'll just do whatever is necessary, my main concern is whether they would go over my 4 pots and not catch the coilovers. the ones i have now are et42 with 5mm spacers ( front ) wot dya reckon

I wouldnt of thought the Esc Cos rims will catch the coilovers, because of the offset (the smaller the number the more the wheel sticks out) I think they will clear the suspension. Dont know on the brakes?
If your current wheels are ET 42, with 5mm spacers, they are now in effect ET 37. If Esc Cos rims are ET 25, thats 12mm difference, ie, they will stick out that far. Plus you have to take into account the actual width of the rim. I think they are 8J (8 inch) but dont quote me on that!! lol!

an old one before the car was stripped
the setup is from hi-spec. the calipers are vw items , which means getting spares is a piece of piss cos the pads and calipers are used on loads of vw's. the discs are 275mm i think. the only thing i haven't got a picture of is the mounting bracket, i'll try to get one soon

cheers mate, they look near the same to the caliper on the seirra.
so what hub did you use then? and biggest question, did it space the wheels out much? if so by how much roughly please dude.
will be looking all over it at ford fair and chatting to ya ( making the missis wait, lol)
you are putting in the show yeah

yeah i'll be at the show mate, feel free to come and chat they were already on the car when i bought it, but i'm certain the hub is just the standard one . the bracket fits between the rear beam and the hub with all 4 bolts holding it in place. the bracket is probably about 10mm thick but is machined down to about 3-4mm thick where the hub sits inside . so i guess the wheels stick out by about an extra 3-4mm. the new rims are 17's and they hardly catch at all.

hmm, must be like the one i got then, it looks like it
thing is, the fiesta never cam with a hub on the back, just the drum complete
my caliper mount braket is about 5 mm thick, but im sure the wheel is space more out than that cos of the thickness of the disc on the hub.
oh well, if i dont like mine ill stick the drums back on, lol
cheers mate, and i will come see ya at the show

cheers mate.
not really a fan of white on red though, bit too motorsport for me
to be honest most people are split whether they like them or not but i will say they definitely look better in the flesh and since i wound the suspension down about 20mm

thanks mate - love your car ....really love it!
what did you have to do to get it concours?
i may be buying an rs turbo today and will probally get it stripped and resprayed inside out etc. will it be making the engine bay look like yours after that and the little touches etc?
