Konig 16*8 with some 205/45/16 BFG Sports


Really liking this Fiesta as a daily for me.

Can average well over 30mpg, enough room for my 7' fishing pole, and can fit my 4 cobra wheels and tires in it.

Tuned making 191/280.

Most fun you can have with under 200whp and 4 wheels haha

I really like it so far.

I sold my RS for one. I rolled a bit of negative equity into this car from the RS resale disaster

Still cut the payment by $350
Stock size is 17*7 et 47.5

These are 16*8 et40.

I'm happy with them with the small drop the car has


Stock wheel are tires are 45lbs. These come in 37lbs

Car is around 2675lbs now

I got 34.8 mpg from Bay Area to simi valley on 5 including ridge route climb ave 80-85mph.

The car is so much fun to drive.
I've got as much as 39.1 indicated when cruising around 50-55 and going easy .


My RS averaged 18.4mpg so getting nearly double is sweet

Rides much nicer as well with the springs and the 16" wheels

Neither am I...

It's very difficult to find 4*108 wheels. Only a few different wheels to buy really.

I had entirely planned on dipping and then later powder coating these bronze or silver flake next season, but I'm actually liking the look. Plus, it hides the brake dust

Looks great. Next set of tires though you gotta go wider. Those 205's look pinched a bit on an 8" wide wheel.

What springs are you on?

There isn't a wider tire to use with what I'm looking for

The BFG actually run wide for a 205


215 and 225 don't really exist in 23.5" tall. The only ones are hardcoy autocross

I've read it and said it before. The Fiesta ST is like driving with cheat codes.

You can somehow have fun and floor it everywhere and never put fuel in it.

My car tells me I'm 50 miles to empty every time I get in it.

Looks good! The paint correction looks great, as do the wheels. Corrected black paint is supreme!

Looks great! These are the same wheels and tire size I am looking to get for my green envy FiST. No money for now, but it's gonna happen.
