	Hi, I'm a long time petrolhead - but never actually had time / money to spend on hobby cars, so finally yesterday I acquired a lovely little MK1 Fiesta off ebay.- she's a little duckling and has a lot of soul. I want to start slowly and cheaply modding her. Going to start with a really good service and polish just to suss out what i''ve got and then the next thing has to be wheels / Suspension. What's the widest wheel you've put on a MK1 realistically? Don't really want to put a kit on it if i can avoid it, but i've heard about getting arches pulled out. Anyone done this? Any advice gratefully received! Cheers. Scannellski

	185 is as wide as you want to go really. A pic would have been nice though

	depends what kind of 'look' you like. if you want to keep most of the tyre/wheel under the arch then you'll have to stick with 6J wheels, plenty around. pepperpots, supersport 4 spokes, revo rfx, 100+ cross spokes (these 2 are rare though) and RS 7 spokes from mk2s. all will fit under the arches perfectly. there are a few 7js with the right offset that just fit under arches, not common though. get onto www.xrtwo.com and fiesta-mk1.co.uk for more info about everything.
