- What Wheels Fit.
What is going on everyone,
welcome back to Fitment Industries Garage,
and we are here today with another episode of
What Wheels Fit, where we go over
all different types of wheel, tire,
and suspension setups for different vehicles
to help you out in your journey to find
a new setup of wheels, tires, or suspension for your car.
I'm Gels from Fitment Industries,
and today we are gonna be covering a car
that may be small, but sure does like to party,
and that, ladies and gentlemen,
is none other than the Ford Fiesta ST.
Before we go ahead and get right into it,
don't forget to subscribe and check out
some of the new series that we have
right here on the Fitness Industries Garage channel.
And of course, once you're done with this video
and know what wheels are going to fit your Fiesta ST,
don't forget to check out fitmentindustries.com,
where we have a bunch of wheel, tire,
and suspension options for not only Fiesta STs,
but any other car that you might have as well.
But let's go ahead and just get right into it.
The Fiesta ST is just one of those cars
that you can't help but smile at
every time that you see one drive by,
and for some reason, they just sound angry as all hell.
The little turbo hatchbacks hit the US market in 2014,
and a lot of car enthusiasts quickly took notice,
and that only means one thing:
that they started to put aftermarket wheels on them
as quickly as they could.
Unfortunately, these cars were hit with
an odd bolt pattern, that 4x108,
which makes wheels a little bit of a challenge.
So what we're gonna do today is
take a look at some of the Ford Fiesta STs
that are sitting in the Fitment Industries gallery
right now over at fitmentindustries.com,
and dive into them and see what people are running
as far as wheels, tires, and suspension on these cars
to help you guys out on your hunt for some new wheels.
What we're gonna do is break these cars down
into some different categories as well,
and take a look at some different fitment types to make sure
that you're getting the right fitment that you want
for your car and what you do with it.
The first category that we're gonna be going over
will be something suited for those who are looking
to get some aftermarket wheels for their Fiesta ST,
but don't want anything too crazy
or over the top as far as fitment.
These cars will not require any fender rolling
or any other suspension components,
and will still be good for daily driving,
it's not gonna ruin the drivability of the car at all.
So, first up on the list for today,
we have this 2015 with some Konig Lockouts.
Now, these have a size of 16x7.5 with a +40 offset.
Now, for the tires, we're looking at
a 205/45 Toyo Extensa HP II, and then for the suspension,
we have this thing sitting on some H&R lowering springs.
Next up, we have a 2017 with some Konig Dekagrams,
16x8 with a +40 offset,
so going up in that width about half an inch,
wrapped in a 195/50 Hankook Optimo tire,
and then sitting on some Eibach lowering springs.
Going up in diameter an inch,
we get to this 2015 on some 17x7.5, +40 XXR 527s.
Now, this is probably going to be
the widest width and lowest offset
that you're going to want to run with a 17-inch wheel
without having to roll fenders or trim some plastic liners.
For tires, these are 205/40,
and this is sitting on some stock suspension,
and I would imagine if this thing was
on some lowering springs or some coilovers,
you'd get pretty close to rubbing.
The next set of cars we're gonna take a look at today
are cars that start to get
a little bit more aggressive with fitment.
At the very minimum, most of these cars
are going to have their fenders rolled
and are running a little bit of camber,
typically it's natural camber with getting the car that low,
but that helps get the wheels and tires
to clear without any rubbing issues.
We're gonna start seeing more coilovers come in
for the suspension choice as well,
so with all that being said,
first up we have a 2018
sitting on some Rotiform RSE wheels, 17x8, +40
with some Toyo Proxes tires, 205/40,
and then sitting on some lowering springs.
Now, what we've found is that
the amount of fender rolling and trimming
is really dependent on the actual ride height of the car
and the tire size that the owner chooses to run.
We say that because a 17x7.5 or a 17x8
with a +40 or a +42 offset
almost becomes the go-to wheel size for these cars,
and depending on the ride height
and suspension choice or the tire size,
it really determines the fitment or additional modifications
required to get them to fit.
So let's just take a look at a few other cars here,
like this 2015 with some fifteen52 Tarmacs, 17x8, +42
with a 205/45 tire and some Godspeed Project coilovers,
or this 2016 with another set of fifteen52,
TurboMacs this time, 17x8, +42 with a 205/40 tire,
and then sitting a little bit lower
with that smaller tire on some Bilstein coilovers.
When all's said and done,
if you're looking for something that's going to look great
and not cause a bunch of rubbing or clearance issues,
a 16 or 17-inch wheel with a 7.5 to 8-inch width
with a +40 offset will get you right where you need to be.
However, we're not done there,
because we always like to take a look at the owners
who took it to the extreme and managed to fit
some even more aggressive wheels on these cars,
and some who manage to get
a pretty good fender-to-lip fitment.
Because we can't forget about those guys,
it just wouldn't be fair.
Now, these cars are going to have
extensive modifications done to either their fenders,
fender liners, or even additional suspension pieces
to dial everything in just right.
So let's go ahead and take a look
at the first car that falls into this category,
and look at this 2016 rocking some Rotiform LVS's.
Now, these are a 17x8, +30 offset,
and these are wrapped in a 185/35 tire,
and then the whole thing is aired out
on some Airforce air suspension.
Next up we have this 2014 with some good old Work Meisters,
17x8, +38 offset, wrapped in a 195/40,
and then sitting on some air suspension as well,
although this time they went with some Air Lift Performance.
And then, to close out the day,
we have this 2016 with some BBS RS wheels,
17x8.5, +25 offset, putting it at
the most aggressive width and offset of the day.
Now pair that with a 205/40 tire
and some D2 Racing air suspension,
we get the car that we have right here.
So, there you have it, those are some examples
of some of the Fiesta STs that we see
sitting in the Fitment Industries gallery right now
over at fitmentindustries.com.
And if you didn't see the setup
that you're exactly looking for,
feel free to hop on over there as well,
there are a ton of them sitting over there
that have all the details listed for
wheels, tires, and suspension.
And then of course, once you've figured it out,
feel free to shop around for some
wheels, tires, and suspension as well.
But I'm Gels from Fitment Industries,
we'll see you guys later, peace.
