if you do this it would put your speedo out by about 5 mph, your better off getting the clocks from a frst and putting white dials on them

But by fitting larger wheels, you actually fix the inaccuracy. Put the other way, 150mph dials on 140mph clocks give better accuracy on Fiestas with 17s - it brings the margin of error from around 5% to something more like 1%.

I thought RST dials were up to 150mph anyhow?

No but that does not stop Ford putting higher clocks anyhow. Common practise.

My 1.6s can only do 110mph but Ford still have a clock that goes up to 140mph.
