Ford Fiesta wheel fitment
Ford Fiesta wheel fitment for the Ford Fiesta (Vi) JH1, JD3 (2008–2016): the factory PCD, centre bore and bolt spec, then the aftermarket width and offset window we fit to.

| Centre bore | 63.4 mm |
| Bolt / thread | M12x1.5 (nuts) |

Aftermarket wheel sizes — read per position:
| Position | Width | Offset |

As a rule, each extra 1J of width wants roughly +8–10 ET to keep the wheel tucked. The exact offset and any spacer are confirmed by the fit-check.
