I'm looking to try and fit some Lotus Cortina 13x7j rims on a Mk4 Fiesta. ET0 offset with 186/60 tyres. Is it possible? Want something standard-ish to dress up a mint base model.

Hmmn, after some thought. I've settled on the same idea, just a little bit more sensible with some 5.5j et20 lotus style wheels with 175/70 tyres. Stock size and classy rims.

I think they'd look cool if you can get the offset, are you going for the vw golf type 19 look?

Did have some ford sport wheels on a mk1 back at the dawn of time, but they stuck out a good bit
Was before you really got hung out to dry by local plod, just used to get told to ‘go home and change them!’

Oh wow! Yep 5.5J lotus rims look wicked. Opted for 165/70 R13 (the Fiesta's standard size).
Good news- They look just right!
Bad news- They wont go round on the front. As someone stated, they do not quite clear the brake calliper's. Tried wheel spacers, but would require about 12mm Now researching calliper shaving as I only need about 2mm. Any ideas?
