Anyone here got a Fiesta with a spare or space saver wheel?
Looking for someone to maybe give me the exact wheel and tyre spec and maybe a photo somehow?

Trying to source one for a friend, a local scrappy has loads of them sitting in a pile but nothing that says what cars they fit.

Some Googling suggests that you can get a space saver or many use a 14 inch standard wheel with large profile tyres.

My missus had a 2009 fiesta and it was definitely a space saver that was in that.

The title hasn’t given the model year- 2012 so last of that “shape” before they were slightly modified with the bigger headlights etc.

And it is on 15inch steel wheels.

Will this site help: www.tyres-pneus-online.co.uk/car-wheels.html

You'll need to know the diameter and width. Also the site will give you the Pitch Circle Diameter (PCD), offset and centre bore.

Mentions - check you have suitable wheel nuts or bolts.

Cheers FB. My local scrappy is selling them at £20. You just need to know which one is the right one as they don’t know!

Skinny spares all look the same to me, it's not the tyre size - that's easy. Its the wheel has to be the right fit for the hub on the car - are you happy to gamble?

It says on the sidewall ContiEContact 175/65 R 14 82T

It doesn't look very skinny to me but the black metal wheel has an 80kph sticker so I guess it must be.

Hers is never used but looks a bit grubby. I can send you some pics but I'm not sure how they will help.

Anything else you need to know?

How fast does it go mister ?

Talking of restricted speeds on space savers, my ex had a daughter staying with her over Christmas a few years ago. Daughter lived in the Seychelles at the time. Awoke to find that Mums Passat had a flat tyre..early morning Emirates flight to catch, together they managed to fit the space saver, and with time running out drove across the Pennines well in excess of the 80kph limit.
I told them they should have got a taxi, even if it was 4 AM.

From the 2010 Festa owners manual, that is the specified size for "Temporary spare wheel when it differs from the other fitted wheels"

Cheers smokie.
Is there anything on the actual wheel, maybe the reverse, that gives a size and the relevant info re the wheel itself.
Assume it’s a 4 hole one?

wheelssize.com/wheels/ford/fiesta/#2014

That tells you all you want to know about the wheel, though it has tyre info also. You can select the appropriate year on the website.

It also explains what each measurement/feature actually is.

Just seen this thread.

Our 2009 Fiesta Econetic sits on 175/65R14 tyres on steel wheels and has another the same in the boot. The boot carpet has a wheel-sized circle of hardboard on the back, the rest of the carpet is fabric only and sits about 1/2 inch below the level of the hardboard circle. The carpet curls up at the edges a little, but that's more to do with being 12 years old than any real design flaw.

It might be coming up for sale soon, if anyone has a hankering for 60+mpg and zero VED coupled with a Quickclear windscreen and working aircon. It's tidy if a little leggy, but has a good 2-3 years left in it.
