Hi all

My wife was given a Ford Fiesta 2003 TDCI, amazed at the tax cost of £30 per year, so she is keeping it.

Problem is the previous owners kids were horrible, and the inside of the car smells of sick, but its not sick its spilt and now very old milk, in this heat its ten times worse., and the wheels are 175/65/14 steelies with very badly damaged plastic covers.

So, I went to ebay, and found someone local to me selling a full set of seats for the same year for a mere £60. Thinking they would likely be very crappy but not so smelly I offered him 50, he then told me they were pretty grubby and said he would take £30 for them (I got them, and to my surprise, they were sold cheap and are in near perfect condition,

I then found he was selling a set of alloys from another fiesta, he said £50 for the set, so I also snapped them up.

Seats, I can change, so thats not a big worry, wheels I have to question

The car has 175/65/14 tyres fitted currently, what I want to put on is 195/50/15 which are alloys and luckily come with tyres

Will this be a simple straight swap or will it be a no go?

Those tyres should fit fine

Make sure you also get the right wheel nuts for alloys as steel wheel nuts can 'weld' on from a reaction between the metals.

and dont forget to tell the insurance company of the alloys. Modification

Thanks for the quick response all, sorry for my stupidity, will get alloy nuits tomorow.

Chreers again (there will be more to follow)
