NorthernGeezer Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 I am looking to swap the existing alloys on a 2009 Ford Fiesta Zetec for steel wheels. The vehicle is fitted with 195/50R15/82V alloys and tyres but i'm not sure its a straight swap size wise when i change to steel wheels and tyres. Any advice and reccomendations regarding the swap to steel would be gratefully appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may need different wheel nuts for steel wheels, (not sure the difference), but I may be wrong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernGeezer Posted June 5, 2021 Author Share Posted June 5, 2021 Thanks for the quick response James, i think your right on the wheel nuts, wondering more about the wheel and tyres, not sure its a straight swap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim H Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 Make sure the new wheels have the same width and offset as the alloys. if you're not sure take one off an look at the back for code numbers. number and a letter (width) and ET number for width. Why are you downgrading to steel wheels anyway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StephenFord Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 I have no idea on the 'technical' question, but just wanted to applaud your decision to drive on steel wheels! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marineboy Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Brilliant! Alloy to steel is an upgrade as they do take abuse. Get another set as they're cheap and a set of winter tyres to go with, and you can drive like a hooligan all year round.😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
