Ecos rims and best tyre choice FRST

Postby ben47771 on Sun May 26, 2013 10:54 am

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?

im using the 205/40/16 inch tyres, much more work, but look beter and the tires stay in the shape the are meant to be

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