Re: fao people who hav fitted cossie wheels
Man those wheels look fine!! I'm sure this is covered on the main site but from memory you need severe arch mods, crazy spacers and to restrict the steering rack.
Those that can, do; and those that can't, talk about it.

had a look on the main site, all i could find was...
An interesting wheel in this size is the Escort Cosworth. These rims are 8" wide and as a result are extremely difficult to fit. The offset is also much higher than the Fiesta, so the wheels protrude from the arch quite far. It is possible to make them fit, although it involves a lot of arch work and the car cannot be lowered much due to the sheer width of the wheels. The narrowest tyres these rims will take is 215/40 16s.

Mine is white mate
To fit these wheels will be a big job
Coilovers are a must, plenty of arch trickery although i hear the backs aren't to much of a problem, and tyre size is crucial

And i think that they are 195's on the front too, because i think they are the continetal tyres i've just this week put on mine and i think they only come in 195/40/16

there was a post about the recent performance ford mag which featured a fiesta with these, they are well nice but running 205 or even 195 on them i think is risky especially when cornering wouldnt wanna take em to fast with fear of em comming off!!!
