Phil 87 Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 From another thread: When you specify 17 in wheels on an order the factory fit steering rack limiters to stop the wheels from fouling the wheel arches on full lock.How it fits I do not know but it costs about £8 from Fords. I hope that's not a problem for you Katie, have you used full lock yet with the new wheels on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KatieLouise Posted March 14, 2014 Author Share Posted March 14, 2014 I don't understand that quote or I'm reading it the wrong way -_- It seems to be fine when put it on full lock :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil 87 Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Basically what he's saying is, if the car came with 17" wheels they would have adjusted the steering at the factory so the tyres don't catch on the wheel arches. But if you say it's fine I wouldn't worry about it, you'd soon know if the wheel was rubbing on something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KatieLouise Posted March 14, 2014 Author Share Posted March 14, 2014 Ahh I'm with u, well when I bought the car I did ask if could purchase different alloys from them and they said yes and they was 18" but I was looking at just for the alloys £800 so I purchased my own.. so I gather if they was happy to fit bigger ones should be ok :) Ordered some overalls today too!

KatieLouise Posted March 14, 2014 Author Share Posted March 14, 2014 Just to keep me clean when sorting stuff out on car haha ;) but no seriously was meant to say gel overlays! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotcookie Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 I've got the 7.5 zetec s in black and ordered the gel overlays for the front and back in black with red writing (as well as s badges) and ordered 2 one for front and back. Turned out you get 2 in a pack so I emailed DMB and said could i swap the 2nd pack for either wheel cap covers or a badge for the steering wheel. They were awesome and change the order to give me everything I wanted. Anyway I get loads of people commenting on the badges thinking the car comes that way saying how much they like them! Definately a good shout. Car looks sweet with the wraps and the new wheels! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KatieLouise Posted March 15, 2014 Author Share Posted March 15, 2014 I was thinking black and red overlays but then that would mean interpreting red somewhere else on the car and not sure where I could do that..so I ordered black and white ones, go nicely with the car :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KatieLouise Posted March 15, 2014 Author Share Posted March 15, 2014 Well I had a little stress with mine and couldn't do it due to the shape of the light, so I threw a paddy and give in! Haha but I have no patience -_- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b1g_dav3 Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Rack limiter was because at full compression of the suspension with 3/4 lock on there'd be a chance of rubbing with 205 tyres, but I believe this was addressed for the 7.5 facelift.

anya00tan Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 I got some very cheap of eBay all depends how much of the stuff u want,regarding the price! Hi. just my two cents.. Dont get these type of "LIKE" fly eye tint. they are very hard to apply(difficult to stretch and breaks easily).. get the original ones. a few quid(£3-4) difference.. Goodluck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

negendahl Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Morning All You Ford Lovers :) So I was considering getting some new alloys for my Ford fiesta zetec as I'm not 100% keen on the standard 15", I figured out the ones I liked and wanted will fit and would most probably look great! However I have just realised I purchased the alloy and tyre cover when I bought the car (Additional £199) which would make this whole package void if I changed the alloys right!? Just wanted your opinions whether I should purchase the new alloys or not!? Present alloys vs (potential) New Alloys... Thanks, Katie :) I have the same 15" on mine.. not to keen either! :) Here they are standard on the Titanium. The original Ford 16" i had a look at are around £1100, so i might just wait a bit, or get some used :D New ones you got looks sweet ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
