Hi

I've just picked up a new shape ST Line with the 18" alloys and the gunk instead of a spare wheel.

Looking on ebay for a spare wheel kit most Fiesta ones are listed for previous years and have a 175/65/14 tyre.

Would this be ok and will the tools (jack/ brace) be suitable for the MK8 and will the foam holder fit?

 

Thanks

Looking at the 'build and price' on fords website, the 14" spare is the option for the fiesta, looking on ebay, most are all 15" - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GENIUINE-FORD-FIESTA-MK9-2017-ONWARDS-SPACE-SAVER-15-SPARE-WHEEL-JACK-KIT/162570986598

which would be correct?

I ended up buying a full kit for £45 off ebay locally so saved on postage

175/65/14 tyre on steel rim, jack, brace, foam holder, screw clamp all brand new/ unused

The space saver although being 1" bigger has a slightly lower tyre profile so would equal the 14" wheel/ tyre. The space saver tyres are only 2-3mm tread as they are supposed to be changed back after 50 miles of temp use where the 14" has the full 7-8mm tread so will last longer.

The only thing that worries me is the wheel nuts don't look as though they're a snug fit as the holes are tapered out slightly where on the alloy they taper inwards?

on my previous fiesta 2007 mk6.5 the wheel nuts were designed to fit alloy and steel. there was a shoulder and washer on the nut which held an allow wheel on. the bottom of the nut held the steel wheel on. But annoyingly with the steel wheel on I could hear the captive washers rattling on the nuts.  That was a good deal £45 for the whole lot.
