    Personally I would not put anything bigger than 16" or 17" on a Fiesta. Anything bigger and your speedo will be way off, the tyres will more than likely be rubbing against the arches, the car will sit taller on the wheels and they will look naff imo.

    the Fiesta Steel comes with 16" alloys, these look very well, you could fit 17's. I have 18" alloys on my car, and the arches are bigger than on the Fiesta,the ride is very hard. For 18 or 19" you would need a very, very low profile tyre, and lowered suspension, so goodbye ride quality. If it's your everyday car then don't go bigger than 17

    The Fiesta Zetec has 15" OEM alloy wheels afaik.

    I would try and get a set of Fiesta Steel 16" OEM alloys, they are large enough imo and will not have much difference on comfort and ride.
