Hi everyone I just purched the 17 inch alloys from a 2014 zetec s and fitted them there don't seem to be any scrubing of tyres and arch. But do I really need to fit the steering rack limiter. All suggestions and coments would be appriciated. Thanks

Limiters are only necessary for 18" and larger.

The originals was 195 45 16 and the new 1s are 205 40 17

Tyre width is 10mm more but radius ratio on new ones is less so rims plus tyres won't be much more.

TBH as the width is 10mm more you may have increased risk of rubbing on full lock but only very slightly.

I say fit them and check clearance on full lock to be sure.

Just finished putting them on and on full lock seem a bit tight but not rubbing will these be ok now or should I fit rack limiter? Thanks

You'll know after driving the car.

If you feel any rubbing or see signs of rubber transfer on the arches then yes but I think you'll be ok.

The rack limiters are only £7.50. The tyres may not rub when stationary but at speed may.

Ford fit limiters to cars specified with 17 inch wheels. Why wouldn't you?
