Fez Rolling On 17's

MISTA FIESTA · 17-09-2005, 08:05 PM

Howdy Ppls,

I am now the lucky owner of 17inch Ford Focus MP3 rims.

I absolutley love em, and they look huge compared to the 15 inch Zetec rims.

These are just a couple quick shot of how they look. Unfortunatley they wont be on the car for at least 2 months as no money for tyres

:
The Dunlop Le Man 702's look pretty good.

I might concider lowering it maybe 1 inch as some ppls think it will look like a 4wd. But who cares??

Let me know your thoughts??

Pieoter · 17-09-2005, 08:29 PM

Would those be Tims old wheels?

Yes

They look good, but would look better lowered

Im getting mine done in two weeks.... so ill post pics to show you how lowered 16s will look

Looks good... but yes, needs to be lowered.
Oh, also... THOSE ARE MY TYRES! I shotgunned them first!

I know at least one other Fiesta owner who should be taking note of these pics! hehehehehe.

xurbanx · 17-09-2005, 09:08 PM

looks decent (: rims and tyres are on the far end of my to do list (:
were those the stock fez tyres? or the tyres that can with the rims?

joshf2 · 17-09-2005, 09:17 PM

just a quick chop with the photoshop

and voila... dropped!!

professorsabre · 17-09-2005, 09:19 PM

That looks nice, one thing I suggest is that you lower the fez now. I don't know if it's the angle but it looks a little to high. Might be the pic.
Other than that is looking good.

Cheers

Ok just seeing the above post confirms it... drop the fez looks heaps better.

Cheers

Teki04 · 17-09-2005, 09:39 PM

Lowered 17s

Lowered 16s

Same Rim, different size... both look good IMO

MISTA FIESTA · 17-09-2005, 09:49 PM

Howdy PPLS

Thanks for the comments.

Pieoter - Yes they are Tims old Rims

xurbanx - The tyres are 215/45 which cam with the rims, but when isd ave some monies ill get some new 215/35 profile.

Teki, Josh, professorsabre - Yes i totally agree it looks a bit too high , but mind you i only had one side with the 17s the other with 15 so the car is slightly lob sided. Also the angle wasnt right. I will definitly concider lowering but not anytime soon. But hey im not worried that it looks like it can go off road.

Teki - Those tyres are all urs i have no intention of buying them.

Josh - Thanks for the quick photochop, it will definitley look sick lowered

xurbanx · 17-09-2005, 10:11 PM

the 17' in the black fez looks sweet

mitch_lx · 18-09-2005, 11:57 AM

Bloody hell 17's look big on it !

Really nice looking wheels

good choice damo.
But you know you will have an even harder time keeping up with my fiesta now ;) ;) remember that bet..

Dont mean to hijack but ive shown our AWD ''mates'' from subaru whos boss lol :P ;)

DOWN GOES A 2004 MODEL 2.0L RX IMPREZA WITH EXHAUST :P hehehehe

azza1 · 18-09-2005, 08:15 PM

You absolutely. positively must dump that baby. I've got the sixteens and I'm still deciding if the sportsriders are going to be low enough or if i have to go the fully adjustable Koni's. Can't think of anything worse than not getting it low enough the first time.

MISTA FIESTA · 18-09-2005, 08:20 PM

Yes mitch they do look huge :the_finge and thats the way i like it.

I wont have the rims on the car for some time as i need new tyres, so sorry to say mitch but the bet still stands and i dont think i will have any trouble trying to catch u. We will find out soon enough, who is the supreme machine.

: :evil_laug

Anyways thats for the good feedback.

Cheers

Um, Auto vs Manual.... pretty sure who will win!

Or do stickers make the car go faster?

Nice, definitly lower it. I'm still trying to find time to do mine :(

RedStar71 · 19-09-2005, 06:22 PM

Nice!!! Lower it and it will look fantastic!

Scareybear · 19-09-2005, 07:37 PM

How close is the rear trailing arm to the tyre?

MISTA FIESTA · 19-09-2005, 07:53 PM

what is a rear trailing arm?>?

XtRmn8 · 20-09-2005, 12:57 AM

Nice looking GT you got there buddy!

:

.............17 inch wheels will look great on a little car.

Timmeh · 20-09-2005, 01:19 PM

I was there when these rims were test fitted, and all I can say is that they look just absolutely massive on the car. It also looked lower in the flesh, those photos don't do it justice. But can't wait to see them on the vehicle permanently!

Howdy PPls,

Just an update. I have finally scrapped together all my church money and come up with the dosh. if all goes well she will be rolling on the 17's by sunday.

They tyres i will be buying are Nankang NS-2 - 215/40R17 for a very very good price.

Cheers to everyone with the feedback on tyres as i am a newbie with all this.

cArSiK · 14-10-2005, 08:46 PM

before you buy Nankangs , get a price on them from Tempe tyres , they are REALLY cheap on nankangs....thats where i got my NS-2's from..

james

MISTA FIESTA · 14-10-2005, 08:52 PM

lol good....you have done your research well then!!

MISTA FIESTA · 14-10-2005, 08:56 PM

Nope no research really just listening to ppls and their opinions

0xyg3n · 14-10-2005, 11:35 PM

Whats the legal limit in NSW for wheels and tyre's. Putting 215/40/R17 is gunna put ur speedo way out of whack by about 4k's. Here in Vic the diameter cant be more then 15mm with 215/40 its like 30mm more then the std 195/50.

azza1 · 14-10-2005, 11:58 PM

I've been looking at 17"s and as i'm being told i have to have pirelli's at 477 a pop.
