how about a 17x7 +45 mm offset so we can run them in SCCA Solo Street formerly known as Stock category.
The color options that will be available are gunmetal(similar to rado grey) or bronze.I think it would be sweet if we could get these in the same rado grey finish that is optional from the factory on stockers...
I was going to do a wheel clearance measurement anyway just for myself. I will try to get that knocked out this weekend. Is there anything in particular you want to spec out? This will just be static in my garage, so all dims will be with no suspension compression other than the weight of the car.
Btw, I love the rpf1, but I would rather see a 16x8 size.
As Eric said, for those of us who will be running our cars in SCCA events, our choices are limited by rules. It appears that a lightweight 16x7 would be optimal for the stock classes (17x7 for those who want to keep the stock size), and 16x8 or 17x8 for Street Touring.how about a 17x7 +45 mm offset so we can run them in SCCA Solo Street formerly known as Stock category.
I was thinking 16x7.5 would be excellent.I was going to do a wheel clearance measurement anyway just for myself. I will try to get that knocked out this weekend.

Sorry for the delay, I finally got a chance to lift the car and check out the clearance for the wheels. There is a pretty generous amount of room in the wheel wells. To be honest, the biggest issue is the amount of clearance between the tire and the strut. With the stock wheel and tire, there is about 18mm of clearance between the tire and the strut assembly. If you are only looking at an 8" wheel, outside of a crazy low offset, you should be fine.We are working to get a group buy going for the Fiesta ST RPF1 Wheels.
The choices I was thinking
1. 17x7 +45mm (Closest to stock)
2. 17x8 +45mm (More width more Grip !!)
3. 17x7.5 +48mm (A little wider but the offset is tucked more then stock)
4. 17x8 +35mm (Stance, fender work is more likley, more stress on the wheel hubs)
Please help Tim and us so we can get these wheels made before spring.
At OAKOS we don't have a Fiesta to measure a safe wheel. Based on my knowledge of wheels I think the 17x8 +45mm would be the best choice but is 1/2" closer the the strut going to rub? 1/2" to the fender going to rub? We need some help to get this information so all input is welcome, and needed.
Thanks everyone!
