I'm running 215/40/16 on mine, slight bit of tyre stretch but you have to compromise slighty when fitting wheels this fat on a fez
16" wheel = 406.4mm WITHOUT a tyre.
45% of 225mm = 101.25mm x2 =202.5mm for tyre walls top & bottom.
Total Rolling Diameter of a 16" wheel with a 225/45/16 tyre = 608.9mm
40% of 215mm = 86mm x2 = 172mm for tyre walls top & bottom
Total Rolling Diameter of a 16" wheel with a 215/40/16 tyre = 578.4mm
As you can see from the above calculations the 225/45/16 option is a bit big for the Fiesta and you'll have more issues with rubbing than with the 215/40/16's.
They DO look damn good though even if I do say so myself!!

heeman10 :I think we're going to need to park a long way from each other at FITP mister!
Come on James there's no need to be like that! I'm following anything I can recognise as I haven't got a clue where I'm going or what I'm doing, what with me being a FITP virgin!
