Title: Will 14ich fiesta alloys fit a ford ka?
Post by: Arrolman on 28 October 2009, 19:49:08
Hi,

Got some cheap 14inch Fiesta alloys, re-furb n look like new for £56! , looking at sticking them on the g/f's Ford Ka which is running 13inch steels, will they fit?

Cheers,
Iain

What year Fiesta did they come from, and what year Ka do you want to fit them to?

They will fit, but check the offset (you should be ok on that though).

You will also have to accomodate the larger rim by fitting low profile tyres in order for the speedo to read correctly.
To determine the profile, you need to know what width the rubber is that you intend to fit.

PS

Make sure you get the wheelnuts that are meant for that wheel, you can't use the standard ones on alloys.

The Ka3 was on 14's, so there's a reasonable chance that they could fit.

Would suggest asking on the Ka forum, except last visit there ppl's knowledge seemed to end at fluffy dice :s

All Ford rims from close enough years physically fit other Fords from similar years (assuming same number of studs).

The major concern is the offset, with the secondary (minor) concern being diameter.
