4 stud old fiesta alloys.

Can you please tell me if these will fit a fiesta - 54 reg - 175x65 R14 tyres. ?
Thanks

my reply:
Hey mate. Just google your pcd of the fiesta. If it's 108mm then it will fit I suspect.

Thanks
Amanda

It's a chick though. You need to spoon feed her the info.

Also you're suggesting her PCD is over a metre, no wonder she's confused.

Its a woman thats replied and she doesnt understand what pcd is, i suspect you can check for her as its you that is selling and you that wants rid so helping your sale will be first priority?

been a bit negative about the situation IMHO

I know full well that my misses would of be baffled once you started talking about pcd's, surely it would of been in your interest to google it for her and just give her an answer or am I just too helpful, she just wants a simple yes or no answer

if people who knew that, didnt help out others no one would ever get any where.

and my first thought is they would look poop on a mk6 fezzy lol.

edit. also i told her to google PCD. so she can "de baffle" her self. still didnt help lol

Quite. Customer service fail! Thats potentially some profit you might have thrown away there.

Bear in mind not everyone in this modern day and age is computer literate (shock! I know!) so she probably has no idea about google being used as a verb; let alone the required mechanical knowledge to understand what PCD is. If I told you to vi smb.conf then bounce the daemon, would that make sense? :p

Anyway, what you should have said was "I'm afraid they'll only fit your car if you show me your tits".

TBH your being abit of a knob about it. She is female (no offence to some of our female members here BTW) so she isnt likely to have a scooby what PCD means. You were not born knowing what it meant!

No he isnt....1000mm is a metre!

She should be in the kitchen working on the pots and pans and accepting a spooning from me when I demand it.

Well f*ck you then! lol

Hmmmm, i think it would be a bit far to travel for them. Plus i gave a set away not so long ago. Look sweet on original Xr3i's though. I'd dig a pick out of my 90spec, but youd probably tell me this isnt a pic whoring thread either! lol

Ahh thats alright then. Funny how these parts come back around to being an item bought rather than scrapped. I didnt even consider selling mine. Wish i kept them now.

To answer her question, the PCD will be correct, but the offset will be slightly out, IIRC newer fiestas have a higher offset (45ish?) than older fords will be about 30 something
