Fiesta Zetec s spare wheel

[petemaisey]

Hello all, As we all have found with modern cars in order to save weight or space have either a small temporary spare wheel or none at all.
I would like to know if there are any small Fiesta wheels that will still fit the 2011 Zetec? I was thinking a narrow standard wheel would be ideal although I would have to carry spare wheel nuts too I'm guessing.

Thanks in advance, Pete

my dad was unhappy at the thought of having no spare in his C-max

I ended up buying him a full size spare from a breakers - space saver wheel and tyre was considered but it was easier and cheaper to source a full size spare. Came with a brand new tyre on it same as ones already on his car!!!

Shouldn't really be that hard to find steel or alloy wheels for 2011 Fiesta on the bay of E (other options such as part finder etc would also be suitable)

Thank you B'stard, Can I take it that the wheel stud spacing is common on all Fiestas?

Devils in the detail as always but I would be sure similar age and spec cars to your own would share the same PCD

I'd start off with the info that can be found on your current wheels - normally most alloys are marked with info that help you indentify what PCD (Pitch Circle Diameter or wheel stud spacing as you refered to it) and ET (Offset) and rim width (normally number and a letter like 6.5J) so that you can match it with potential alternatives - depends if you want space saver or full size?

You won't be able to fit a standard sized wheel in the recess in the boot, you'll have to get a space saver. You're local Ford dealer can supply all the bits or try the scrap yards.

If it's 4x108 then there's loads of options.
I carry a BMW e46 space saver which has helped me a few times now.

You need to get on ebay and find a space saver that will fit the car. They're not expensive and will come with jack etc.

Watch out for insurance.
Are you covered for using a non-standard wheel?

They're a Ford "option", so it won't be an issue.

As said above, a full size wheel won't fit in the wheel well in the boot. Ford offered a space saver as an option when new, no doubt you'd be able to get one with a jack from the parts department if you can't find one on eBay.
