hi, i see you have the 15 inch tires I have a question for you, Im buying 185/60/R15 88R XL tires today no wheels though im planning on buying steel black ones after i buy the tires, the guy Im buying them from online has the tires so Im just wondering if they would fit fine, ..will the brakes fit and will it catch on the wheel archers or anything, any info would be appreciated thank you

The tires I have are 185/60R15 Pirelli Winter Carving Edge and they fit fine. This size matches the stock tire almost exactly in terms of height.

As for the wheels, I have not heard anyone say that any 15" wheels have issues, but the brakes are a close fit on the front wheel. You can see pictures of Rodmoe's 15" wheels (I have the same 15" wheels he does, MSW Type 23) here: http://fiestast.net/threads/15-wheels-on-st.741/

Also worth noting that the 15" wheels from the normal Fiesta fit the ST

185/60/15 on steelies will do just fine for winter on stock springs

My 185/60/15 snows fit fine. I got a set of 4-bolt Focus alloy wheels for cheap... they bolt right on and they're easy to find.

thanks for the info guys,

I got a set of hakkepelitta Rhttp://www2.tires-easy.com/cgi-bin/...KW&Label=C-F-71-2&details=Ordern&typ=D-107847
