Fiesta ST Wheel Size, Bolt Pattern, Offset & Tire Information

[GerardF1]

Most of the aftermarket rims I am looking at are saying +42 or +45. Love the way ot drives - didn't want to screw it up

Yeah, you won't notice much change-if any.

Those sub-10mm offset changes do far more for the visual aspect than anything performance related. You should be fine.

Think of it this way: In "stock" class autox, you are extremely limited in what you can do to your car. Even adding a short-shift kit will take you out of stock class. But they will allow you to go +/- 1/4in (6mm) of offset and stay "stock," so you can reasonably expect the handling change to be relatively insignificant. We are running et42mm on 16x7 and car still rotates and handles as well as ever.

What size tires are you running on those 16x7?

 

[justgotFiSTed]

Dunlop z2 205/50-16

Anybody have any leads on some nice 15" or 16" x8 wheels? Looking at picking up a pair for the front to run some nice wide slicks when I go to the strip. If worse comes to worse I'll even run steelies lol

Congratulations! I would not recommend 17x9 to be honest. I have 17x8 and it's pretty wide.

With what size tires, and do they rub?

I'm on 205/40/R17. No rubbing issues.

I replaced OEM wheel/tire with 16x7 OZ Ultras and 205x45 BFG Sport Comp tires. Amazing change in ride, compliance replaced harshness, quieter, just as sticky, great in rain. Might have sacrificed a touch of turn in, but good trade if so. Assume my happiness has more to do with unsprung weight reduction than brands, but don't really know. Total package from Tire Rack about $1500

Here is a nice wheel and tire fitment calculator http://www.willtheyfit.com/index.ph...diameter2=16&wheelwidth2=7&offset2=40#content

Stock Fiesta ST Wheel Information:

15"x6" - 45.7mm
Tire Size 185/60 R15
Speed rating H
Load rating 84
Usage All season


Fiesta ST Bolt/Lug Pattern:

You may want to change the offset quoted for the spare from "45.7 mm" to "47.5 mm". I looked in my manual and I think you may have transposed the numbers when typed into the forum posting.

So this is wide as you can go without rolling fenders right?

On coilovers for me I wouldn't go any wider than 8".

I have new OZ Ultraleggera wheels (17 x 7, et 42) that I will be moving the OEM tires over to. I would eventually like to replace the OEM tires once they wear out. I'm looking at the Dunlop Drezza DII star specs. I've been told that their 225/40R17 will be too wide. What is the widest 17" tire I can get on a stock or lowered (BC coil overs) Fiesta ST? Any tires that are better than the Dunlops? Only looking for summer performance tires. Thanks. What is the best width 17" tire for the FiST. I'd like to improve handling, not degrade it with the wrong tire choice.

With 225/40/R17 you'll be close to the fender as I was before at ET38 on 215/40/R17 17x8 wheels. I was fine at stock height, but every tire company may run slightly different and I using Yokohama S-Drive.

So nothing a little fender pulling, fender tab trimming couldn't solve. I'm pretty sure I'm going to get the BC coilovers, so I would drop the car about .7"

Mine was lowered at about 1" on BC coilovers and it only scraped a few times on harsh bumps at high speeds. You might be ok at .7".

I heard the Bridgestones S04 pole position were great summer tires. And they pretty cheap. That's what I'll be running next year when my stockers go out.

215/40/17 Dunlop ZII's fit no problem on 17x7 +42 wheels. That is what I run for my track setup. No fender modding needed.

However, if you run more negative camber, the tire is pretty close to the strut, it works fine but you won't be able to go wider tires than that without spacers or a lower offset wheel.

I currently run -2.1 camber in front with coilovers.
