Gday guys. Here is my 2 cents I had a WS Zetec which I put CSA wheels on no problem . When Ford could not fix my car after a major problem they replaced my car with a WT Zetec. They transfered my CSA wheels from the WS to the WT perfect fit. So for me I don't quite get the whole 100 108 debate because the same wheels fitted both cars perfectly ??? So what gives?

I have CSA wheels as well. Mine have 8 bolt holes 4 at 100 and 4 at 108mm so they will fit any WS or WT.

I know this an old thread. Went to save my partner who got a flat in her WT Fiesta with my WZ Fiesta ST spare wheel.
German WZ wheel does not fit the thai built WT, PCD is too large. Potentially useful info for someone else looking for answers.

Well the ST comes from the same factory as all the WS's, so no real surprise there.
But all the other Fiestas now on sale alongside the ST will be the same as the Thai built WT. Very confusing, but if you know where your car was built its easy enough. |

Bit late on the bandwagon for the stud pattern but I was hoping that somebody could help me with the size of the Centre Bore in the WT Zetec wheels. I currently own a 2011 Fiesta and have no clue how to measure or find out what the center bore is for spacers that I want to add to the rear wheels.

Hi Thomas,
Its more than likely 4x108 PCD. But your car may be just in the middle when Ford changed from 4x100 to 4x108. Just pop to your local Tyre Shop, they will let you know right away. |

Don't think there was any "middle".
Simply, the Thai Fiesta comes out of the same factory as the Mazda 2 and they both use the same stud pattern. Any German built Fiesta has 108. But isn't the question here about the wheel centre bore? |

A bit offtopic:
Question for Fiesta WT/WZ (LX/Trend) owners here. The LX/Trend trims of the Thai-built Fiestas come standard with 185/55R15 tires on 6x15 wheels with an offset of 45 (at least the last time I checked online). Has anyone tried installing slightly taller 185/60R15 tires on the stock wheels? In the US, they fit 185/60R15 tires as standard on models with 6x15 wheels, but the offset is not the same, I think its 42 (US version Fiesta) vs 45 (WT/WZ Fiesta). Just curious if there's a clearance issue between the tires and the body or suspension components if you install taller 185/60R15 tires on the OEM wheels of the Thai-built Fiestas. Thanks. |

I would very much doubt you will have any clearance issues with going from a 55 to a 60 series tyre.
Actually - none. The difference is so small, and there is a fair degree of space left to go larger / wider again. Remember, you could probably fit snow chains to your 55 series tyres and they would probably extend the dimensions further than the 60 series tyre would. Your issue - if any would be on the front. Turn the wheel full lock and run your hands around the inner edge of the tyre. Is it close to anything? I think you will be adding just under 10 mil to the edge of the tyre if my maths is correct (so around 2cm more in total diameter for the larger series.

PS: Just wondering how Ford calibrates their Speedometer to minimize its "error". For example the Thai-built WT/WZ Fiesta has a wide range original equipment tire sizes. From small 185/55R15 tires of the Fiesta XL/Trend has a diameter of 584.5mm to the S/Titanium's 195/50R16 tires have a diameter of 601.4mm. That's a dfference of 16.9mm between the two original equipment tires. At 603mm, the diameter of the 185/60R15 tires is actualy close to the 195/50R16 (601.4mm) tires of the Fiesta S/ Titanium.

They use a speedo that reads right on or just under for their largest tyre then anything smaller will show below the actual speed.
When I had factory tyres on my focus it was about 4% under. I changed tyres, either one width wider or one profile bigger and my speedo was spot on accurate.

I know this post is very old but I just bought a 15" steel fiesta wheel from ford for my sons 2010 Zetec to use as a spare. The wheel is 4 x 108 PCD and it doesn't fit. The Zetec is a Thai built car and it has 4 x 100 PCD.( By the way the PCD can be measured inside to outside of the stud which is much easier than trying to guess the centre). So those people who said the Thai ones were different were spot on. The world wide listing also shows Chinese domestic market having 4 x 100.
