I was referring to the combined Sport Appearance + Sound & Sync package for the SE, not the SES Upgrade

Fiesta 140ps Upgrade

Since you are in Vegas and so Is Shelby have you asked if they have any modifications planned ? I doubt they do but who knows.

Does anyone know if 16 inch Ford Focus wheels will fit on the Fiesta? I know that in terms of diameter there should not be a problem, but what about width? My Focus has 7 inch width - I vaguely recall it being said the Fiesta's is 6 inches wide, but I can't find any hard data about it.

If you saw the article on Autoblog with my Fiesta you can see I am running 02 Focus wheels with different tires for the winter. They fit just fine. I have also put my 17" x 7" Axis Touring Cups on as well to see how they fit. Tire size is key to getting the 17" wheels to fit correctly.

Were you running 215/45/17?

215/45 17 is too big of a tire for the Fiesta. It fits, but there is very little room between the sidewall of the tire and fender openings. P205/40 17 is recommended for 17" applications. Also, the Fiesta sits stupidly high on P215/45 tires as I found out this summer.

My mistake, 215 is what is recommended for 7.5" wheels. What are the stock wheel/tire combination for the Fiesta in 16"?

TIRES AND WHEELS (TYPE, SIZE)
S sedan 15-in steel with 6-spoke cover, P185/65R15 BSW
SE 15-in 8-spoke aluminum alloy, P195/60R15 BSW
SEL sedan 16-in premium painted aluminum alloy, P195/50R16 BSW
SES
hatchback 16-in premium painted aluminum alloy, P195/50R16 BSW

Not sure on the wheel width.

I am leaning towards a P215/40 17 on 7" wheels to give me more foot print and slightly more sidewall to protect the rims. I will lose some performance with this route, but save the wheels. AFAIK, I have the only set of Axis Touring Cups in a 4 x 108 BC. Protecting them from Michigan potholes is key!

What's the highest MPG you've gotten?

Ooo there's some new info in
Ford Racing Performance Parts - [Fiesta]

For power improvement, Ford Racing engineers are currently working on a cold air intake to improve airflow combined with a Ford Racing Performance exhaust system for the 1.6-liter Ti-VCT I-4 engine. To keep the Fiesta firmly planted on all four tires, Ford Racing plans on offering an upgraded suspension kit to give the Fiesta driver track-inspired ride and handling.

So... Stock isn't going to happen hello Street Touring. also I do need 7.0x16 wheels since 215/45-16 Kumho XS tires won't fit on the OE 6.0x16 wheels.
