    with this you can start find 4x100 wheels, instead of 4x108... its much easier to find some decent wheels i guess...
    With that its impossible to find "legal" wheels. With a 7 inch wide wheel, its fits perfectly with ET40. That adapter makes a ET40 wheel ET65.

    How many wheels are made in ET65? None

    The Calibre Vintage wheels are cool. But i dont if how they fit my Fiesta. Will Photoshop it tonight.

            The Calibre Vintage also come in 4x108. But damn, those Twists would look badass on your car.

              Calibres should be burnt, you're offset calculations are wrong too, spacers don't 'add', they subtract, if they added fitment would be easier to achieve.

              There is nothing wrong increasing your offsets 20mm though, if you are saying you don't want to, this isn't the place for you !

                Before saying this is not a place for me, please understand that I live in Denmark, where a wheels rim must not be wider than the cars total diameter (don’t know the exact word for it in English). I don’t want fines for too wide wheels…

                An ET40 wheel which is 7 inch wide fits the cars total diameter. If I have a spacer on which adds 25 mm to my nav, I have to find ET65 wheels to fit the cars diameter.

                Don’t tell me that’s wrong!!

                  That is wrong, adding a 25mm spacer would make the et 15.

                  Hm read what you said again, and yes you would need a 65mm offset wheel so it would fit like a 40mm offset wheel, if you add a 25mm spacer.
                  But this site is not about high offset wheels that are spaced to fit like stock wheels.
                  Its about low offset wheels that sit further out than a stock wheel. That sits well on the car for the look you are going for, poke, flush, tucked etc. There is no one here that is running a wheel with stock offsets and widths and not running spacers.

                    Found your car on bilgalleri, figured you used that site.
                    judging by the pictures you could at least use a 20mm spacer or stepping about two inches up in wheel width and go to 16inch wheels. That would in my opinion be way better.

                    And about not wanting to go with the wide wheels because the law doesnt allow it, who gives a shit. About everyone on here is not allowed "by law" to run the wheels that they are running, or they are too low.

                    By the way im from Faroe Island / Færøerne so i know about the law you are speaking about.
                    One other thing, in my opinion the BLQ is about the ugliest wheel ever made.

                    If i was you, i would look for some OZ Futura in 16x8.5 and 16x9.

                        Yes, adding the spacer will make the wheels ET 15 - but thats not what i ment!! I ment i have to find a ET65 wheel to fit the car perfect with the spacer mounted..

                        On the rearend there is no problem with a 25 mm spacer, but on the fron there is. The white ones i have mounted now has a ET38 and that is 2mm too wide. Also i think its more neat looking if they fit the cars diameter.

                        I also want to lower my car even more, but i cant do that if i get wider wheels.


                        The Fiestas you have posted looks boring to me. I'll stick to 17 inch wheels



                        EDIT: Here you can see the size of the wheel

                          I like the way the rota grids look, but maybe a similar wheel instead of rotas.

                            Perhaps these in white? http://cdn.wheelbasealloys.com/17_In...60_960_303.jpg

                              These are no better then the ones you have now.

                              Btw, I don't think Rotas come in 4x108.

                                All of the suggestions? The Rota Grid does come in 17x7.5 4x108
