Hey, i'm new there and i'm from poland.

I just bought fiesta mk2 1.6d. It'll be a weekend car. I'm not sure what rims size should i fit to save 80's looks.
I'll put only -35mm springs, i don't want any coilovers because of costs.

Give me some advices guys!

XR2

You can fit anything you want. 15" weren't that common back in the time when the car was on sal. A few companies sold 15" as an option, but mostly for the XR2 models with wide wheel arches.

As it's a diesel you'll have to keep in mind you can't use wide wheels/tyres with the standard arches. Even the XR2 wheels (185/60R13 on 6x13 ET32) will need minor modifications on the rear. 13" is the most classic choice, but with the 185/60 tyres the handling will be... improvable. 175/50 or 195/45 (some say the dimensions of these tyres are exactly the same nowadays) are an option for 13" wheels. Or 185/50 on 14" wheels or 195/45 on 15". According to the guys on xrtwo.com 195/45 on the 6x15 Escort RS Turbo wheels will ned NO mods to the arches.

if anyone has pics of fiesta mk2 on these wheels would be great to check it.

XR2

Nothing more than 6" wide. As mentiones before, 6x13 ET32 XR2 standard wheels with 185/60R13 standard tyres need work on the rear arches on non-XRs. Some say Escort Turbo wheels (6x15 ET 36,5) won't need any work, even with 195/45R15 rubber.
