Default Puma/Fiesta interchangeability

No idea if that long word was spelt correctly, but you get the idea Tried a few searches too but turned nothing up, so thought it was safe to make a post.

Basically I have a 99 Fiesta 1.25, and was wondering about first off if Puma fan alloys will fit? I assume they would do, same stud pattern I believe, but was also concerned about if, as they're bigger, there would be any rubbing issues etc. as well as any adverse performance/handling effects due to differing size from factory fit?

Also, are Puma interior items, such as dial surround etc. straight swaps? The Puma dash appears identical, right down to the same white dials, so should be, but don't wanna do anything and find it doesnt fit!

Also after an exhaust that fills the hole in bumper a bit better (without needing a bigger one) and looks semi stock, and adds a subtle tone rather than boy racer loud. Bit specific, but hey, im a picky man! Also heard a rumour that just fitting an uprated backbox can adversely affect performance, but not sure if thats down to how big it is or if its a complete crock of you know what!

Cheers for any help guys!

Cheers for any help.
