Hi all, I'm brent, a newbie from Doncaster, Victoria.
Just registered to meet some fellow fordonians and get some tips on how to improve my little WQ LX fiesta. I have a question that I hope can be answered by you knowledgeable people! I'd like to buy these rims: http://fiestamk7.com/blog/wp-content...ozen-White.jpg And I'm hoping they will fit on my '06 5 door, I believe the stud pattern 4x108 is compatible, but am unsure about offset. I have approached two ford dealers/parts and service and much to my guess they were hopeless. Please help! Brent :@) |

They will fit no problem. Just be careful you don't get the thai build ones as they are 4x100 Cheapest bet is an immaculate set on eBay (you're looking in the 1000's from a dealer and that's without treads.), they pop up all the time some people are dreamers with the amount they want and others are a bargain. This set looks good and come with tyres with plenty of tread, but one has a scrape which would probably cost you another 100 dollars to get fixed.
Be aware these wheels seem to buckle quite easy ( I had the same problem with the 15" ones of the LX but the 16" seem to be the most widespread affected, probably due to the amount of Zetecs sold.) that's if you hit a pot hole so drive like a drunk when you see one! All the best with your searching and wack up some photos if you do it.

Those wheels will be all bent within a year if you drive in country roads more than once in a blue moon, just make sure you can accept that. If you look around there is quite a large percentage of WS Zetecs driving around on non original rims allready
