What did you do to your Fiesta ST today ?

[dyn085]

205s look good on 7.5s. Good little stretch

205 mm = 8.071"

205 mm = 8.071"

There's a little stretch there.

Or not?... not really understanding what's going on. Haha. I think there's a little stretch there. Looks good to me. That's all. Opinion over.

Carved my pumpkin....

Got on my Pierce 4 point brace on... after having the strut bar on for a few days. Its awesome how much difference there is in feel.. even at 5mph.

Then rotated my tires...

A 205 is not always exactly a 205, manf use rounded off numbers and sometimes way off numbers, well known to us that race

A 7.5" wheel is measured inside the lips, it is really 8.5" in total width.

Thus, a specific 205 on a wheel that is 8.5" wide at the outside of the lips can have a little stretch, likely not much and some tires might not show any at all.

The 205/45/17 PS3 AS on my 17x7 are a case in point, they look like they should be on an 8" wheel, they are much wider than the stock tires.

A little stretch is usually a good thing for handling, feedback, etc...

Why did you lay the wheels facedown??

 

[Hwy9FiST]

Why did you lay the wheels facedown??

Why do you lay yours face up?? I can't see any difference.

 

[J2FoRS]

It's a common habit for most to lay face up to avoid potentially harming the face of the rim.

Oh I guess I don't worry about things that don't need worrying about. Plus I LOVE looking at brake dust

edit: Also I don't really care for the wheels. Someday I'll get some 4x108 Rays. Those wont be face down haha.

Installed Mountune RS-R pads about two weeks ago. Have about 500 miles on them and they are great. Good stopping power for street with minimal dusting.
Also installed Falken Ziex ZE950 all season tires yesterday and plastidipped the intercooler grill. License plate has got ta go asap!

I ordered my GT2560 kit from ATP today. Im still kind of bummed Russ never returned my PM. Big turbo pics coming soon!

Bolted in a Turbosmart Kompact shortie plumb back, nice sound and better boosting.

Failed at applying vinyl to the lower lip, will try again in the next few days. Also, prepped and primed the engine cover.

I'd have flipped them over, even if they were not mine. Because OCD.
