They should fit straight on, but if the tyres are too high in profile, they may scrub, but they will deffinatly scrub on full lock.

Offset will be completely wrong, you'd have lots of problems with rubbing as these would stick out beyond the arches. You could be fined if stopped for having an unroadworthy vehicle and you wouldn't pass an MOT with theses fitted.

iirc offset is 52.5 for a MK6 Fiesta - correct offset for a MK3 is 30-35

If the offset is 52.5 they won't stick out, they'll be blocked by the shocks so would require nearly 20mm spacers

mk3 fiesta-mk5 all have an offset of ET35-40 :wink:

ive seen the mk6 zs wheels on a mk4 and 5, they fit fine, again tyres would need to be though out, 195/40/16 as said should be ok
