Fine for street use. Like I said I ran that combo on street and autocross and track days. It just felt little sloppy when compared to a 205 I ran on a 7 this year........ if for just looks go with the 225. If want every bit of performance out of your st go with proper size.

^^^So then, would it be worth the weight penalty to go with a more stretched 215/40-17 on a 17x8, then to go with the 225/45-16 on a 16x7, for overall performance (turn-in, ultimate grip, etc.)??

Too bad been too busy to place the order.. let me know if anything comes up and I can order a set
I may have to sell my set when I get it. I just put my Wilwood BBK on and the rpf1's may not fit. Ping me when you start hearing about guys getting sets and check with me if i want to part ways with my set.

Looks awesome!


225/45 would be a "meaty" tire if that makes sense, Generally on a 16x7 the suggested tire size for Fiesta would be 215/45, some even run a 205/45 which could be "streched", (not ideal in my opnion.) pending brand (edited)
I am running 205/45 Bridgestone RE-11 on a 16x7 and they are perfectly square. Zero stretch, and zero pinch. They are perfect.

Dang. I can't wait that long as I'm sure others will be needing wheels in early spring for track etc. I will be looking for different route I guess.

I realized I forgot to ask, is there a way to order a 5th wheel for a spare if we are in the group buy?
Hey!

The Spare would need to be on the next batch/order. No way for us to add a wheel to the current order. Sorry
