Ecos rims and best tyre choice FRST
I know there has always been a lot of discussions regarding Ecos wheel and tyre choices on a FRST. But i have a set of mint rims ready to go on just need tyres. I have seen a lot of Fiestas with the rims to run 205 40s as well as the 195s 45s I'm running Avo coilovers as well. So what do people recommend i fit?
Many thanks,
Ben

My mate had 195/45/16 on his mk3 fiesta was lowerd with arches trimed an still got plenty of rubbing seen a few with 195/40/16 if you want a really stretched look tbh I think they look good on a mk3 I did consider them for my own car but wasnt prepared to cut away at rot free arches just to have a set,his car used to go threw wishbones with them on as well for some reason?

No coilovers, only adjustable with bumpstops, steeringlimiters and some cutting of the arches ( plastic )
