Looking to Upgrade Your Wheels and Tires?

The FR Fiesta wheel's backspacing is different from the FR Focus wheel.

The FR Focus and stock EAP Focus wheel are the exact same wheel, appearance and spec wise.

is there a military discount??

quick question if there are other wheels that fit the fiesta, why arent they shown?
the only rims that i like are the MOTEGI RACING MR116, and the Sparco Drift, the others just dont do it for me

I have a quick question for the Tire Rack representative. If I am not mistaken, the Focus and the 2011 Fiesta share the same bolt pattern, and hub diameter. The extreme wheel offset/width limit might be a little different between the two, but I would imagine a majority of the wheels Tire Rack offers for the Focus, would fit the Fiesta. Is there a reason why so many of the wheels that are shown as options for the later Focus' are not shown available for the Fiesta. Correct me if I'm wrong, but any 17"x7" wheel with a 4x108mm bolt pattern and between a 49mm-35mm offset should work on both platforms, right? The same would apply to 15" and 16" wheels as well.

Thanks for a great source for wheel, tire, suspension and brake upgrades,

Does anyone know if 215 45r16 will fit with the h&r super sport springs. It is a 2inch drop

I don't know much....but I do know this...I ordered tires, wheels, tpms and reset tool, mounted and balanced this morning.

I just received an email from Tire Rack they they have shipped today. That is some pretty decent service in my mind.

I need a set of Enkei RPF1's, 15x7's drilled for the fiesta. I have looked for them and have had little success. Granted it was a short search..

Can you (tirerack) get blank wheels and drill them to a custom by pattern?

If not, can you get wheel blanks? (I can have my machine shop drill the bolt pattern).

I'm prepping the fiancées car for the supplemental STF class for next year provided it goes through, and it would be nice to get a set of RPF1's in gold to match the set on the RX8.

I have just seen this post and am looking into getting the RPF1's for the Fiesta. Stay tuned, I will have the answer in a few days.

Unfortunately, according to Enkei RPF1 is not possible for the Fiesta. Would PF01 be something you would be interested in?

Trevor, thanks for getting back to me. Sorry I haven't responded sooner.

As for the the RPF-1's, I'm assuming the only reason the 15" won't work is caliper clearance? If that isn't the case I can't see why the wheel wouldnt work with the offsets offered. I know the center bore is tight, as the 17" give me almost no clearance in between the caliper and the wheel on my RX-8.

As for the PF01, do you have a weight on the 15x7? I know they run a little heavier than the RPF1, and the ultimate goal for this car is weight reduction everywhere I can (legally). The budget wheel that is the only option right now is the the OZ Ultraleggera, so unless they weigh less than 12lbs and within a reasonable dollar figure in comparison to the Ultras, I may just go with those.

Granted I could go with a custom set of Rays or Works, but I'm not about to drop that much coin on a set of weekend wheels. Haha

Thanks in advance

I don't know if anyone will have any way of telling me for sure or not, but I was looking at getting either the Sparco Drifts, or Sparco Assetto Garas. The only question I have is, with the 15", is there going to be enough clearance to add a caliper cover? According to the caliper covers, the need a 1/8" clearance on the outside so that it doesn't rub on the inside of the wheel.
