Sorry to be a downer m8, but unless you're a Fairy Godmother and have a majic wand (turbo'd, of course), there's little chance anything bigger than a 15 or thin 16 will fit - don't even think about 17s!<br><br>Sorry (but it'll save you £300 on wheels & tyres - think what you could get with that! Just a few pies! <IMG SRC="http://www.v8fiesta.co.uk/ubb/smilies/biggrin.gif">)

Cheers m8, those dare rims look quite rude and they come in 16's or maybe a set of 16" mondeo rims.

Alright mate, i'm going for 17's on my mk2, with a 50mm drop using Spax shocks and Fiesta centre springs.<br><br>As for how much work the needs to be done, it's more that just rolling arches but a good bodyshop should be able to do the work.<br><br>I'll be running my 17's about mid April, just after Donny, the spax kit is arriving next week and I have to wait till next month for the alloys(don't know what alloys yet) and then to a mate who works in a bodyshop to do the arch work and a few other things.<br><br>The person you need to talk to is Crazy Dave who is on this board sometime or leave a FOA to him on the xrownersclub board.<br><br>Regards<br><br>Gareth

If you look in the current issue of 'Revs', there is a mk2 with 17's, but apparently, they had to grind away most of the arches, and they still catch.

Might use 16's instead (can't be a***d to f**k about gringing arches and still rubbing) and then there's the price of rubber. <br><br>m8 how much did you or are you going to pay for the 50mm springs (i want some because with 13" my car is really low but with 15" it's like a land rover)

The 50mm springs are from the Fiesta Centre, can't remember how much they cost
