I am looking at wheels for my Fiesta. I want 17 inch wheels and know that I have to go with 17x7 wheels due to tyre loading limits. But does anyone know the offset of the wheels on a Fiesta?
Cheers Jason

Thanks guys the wheels I am concidering come in 53 and 42 in 17x7. Can anyone tell me if they will still suit the Fiesta and which one would be better?
I used an offset calculator and it said that the 53 rim will be better as it extends the outside of the wheel out by 8mm (vs 19mm with the 42) and is 18mm less from the distance to the strut (vs 7mm). That sound right to anyone? Cheers Jason

The RTA permit you to increase track by 25mm. If your rim extends by 8mm then thats an increase of 16mm so it is legal. I might be wrong but it the 53 seems to be the better choice.
