Rimms for the new Fiesta

Oct 08, 2003 7 Replies

From some catlog I found that the recommended ET for a 7x15" rimm is



  1. Now, does anyone know is there going to be any problems with ET around 35 and 195/50/15 (='standard' Fiesta size) tyres?

And I really mean _any_ problems in any road/driving conditions. Suspension is standard for now, but I might get a 30mm lowering kit in the spring.



And another question.. How to handle the ~2 weeks while waiting for the car to arrive :-/ :-)

If ET45 really is the right offset (I dunno if it is, or not. Fords were always ET35 anyway - has the new Fester changed ?) then you don't wanna be changing it.

Go and read dictionary.com - the spelling is "rim" :)

Jep, it really is 40-45 dependin on the catalogue. Also some 35 rims (with one m :-)) in a Focus of a friend of mine come a bit too much out, so Focus might be using this new ET too..?

Well. Anyway. Got wild today and went to the shop and bought brand new rims and Michelins, so the 'problem' isn't a problem anymore :-)

Naw .. Maybe I'll start bugging you and write in finnish :-D

Standard 15"alloys on a focus are ET42 I think, OEM 17" are ET49, som OEM rims for the focus are ET52.5. The only focus that sits happily with an ET35 has 18"8J rims and has mildly revised suspension and bodywork ;-)

This goes now 'slightly' off-topic, but I have to say this ...

Well. You don't have to worry anymore. The ~2 weeks turned into 3 days today:

Mort sounds like some kind of death :-)

Yeah, don't take the list as gospel. The figures for the 600 are wrong too - it takes an ET45 wheel, NOT an ET35 !
