Re: fiesta st170 turbo
the st head is a long story and dont want to talk about it on a open forum ,my wheels are 7" et35 with 12mm spacers on the front ,ive found no extra grip going from 205 to 225 so i will be swapping back when these are dead.Ram :planning to have mine all set up for classic ford at pod, will make sure i dont line up against you

bloody hell 12mm? is that still on standard length studs?? does it rub on the shock if you have anyless of a spacer?
i cant remember the et of mine but looks like il be needing spacers then lol. yeh only reason im going for 225 is cuz i got one part worn one for peanuts, so thought i might as well buy one new one and give them a go on the front. other wise i wouldnt be going so wide.
yeh mate will come say hi if i see you at pod think weve met before did i sell u a turbo at ford fair or trax couple years ago?
