Default 14 inch wheels

Hi Everyone

I've got a bog standard mk 3.5 1.1l fiesta, which I'm starting to make look my own.

I use to have a supped up 205 (1.9td lump under bonnet) and had a set of 14 inch compomotive wheels on her - which I've kept.

I've been told that these wheels will fit on the fiesta (same offset)?

Is that the case and if so, do I need any wheel spacers and would I need to get the speedo re-calibrated?

Finally is there anywhere in the Leicester/Coventry area that re-furbs wheels (I kerbed one of the wheels )

Thanks for your help.

Greatly appreciated, Helen

Th easiest way is just to try them, so long as overall diametre is the same speedo will read the same.
I do know that some pug wheels fit fords but not which ones ?

Ive read in numerous places peugeot rims are the same offset, and im confident they are myself. Easiest way though is just to find the offset figure that will be stamped on rim somewhere.

As for speedo calibration, if anything it will bring your speedo closer to being accurate as all speedos typically show you're going about 5mph faster than you actually in fact are

Iirc the pug 205 has an offset of ET15 and a fezzer should have around ET35. So they'll stick out about 20mm. You may get away with it though, suck it and see
