Default Fiesta Mk6 & Mk7 - wheels interchangeable?

Are the 15 inch steel rims fitted to Mk6 and Mk7 interchangeable?

Ford website is showing different part numbers for the 6J x 15" steel rims for the Mk6 and Mk7. Is the offset different or something?

Any help much appreciated!

I think the lowered powered ones at least are 4 stud. There's a 11 reg over the road with four strut wheels on.

There aren't any 5 stud Fiestas.

The Mk6 Fiesta ST has ET52.5 alloys and the newer one is ET47.5 so probably not much in it really. (Both are 4 x 108)

The differences are probably just the offset as you mention. If you can get a definitive answer as to what the offsets are on that website, then you can judge whether any differences will matter. (doubt 5mm would make much problem if the 15" steels have the same ET as the ST versions)

Exactly. MK6 wheels had a very low ET. So using them on a MK7 Fiesta they might rub or touch the shocks.

And: ALL Fiestas had 4x108. No matter if they came with 40 or 180 hp.

Hi I have a Ford Fiesta mk6 2003 and I have bought some alloys and was wondering if ET35 will fit as I am now worried they won't
