tried fitting them today and the tyres touch the springs
my wheels that are on now are standard puma alloys with 195/50 R15 tyres

the new wheels are 195/55 R15 tyres
does anyone have any suggestions and what i can do please, go easy with me as i know nothing about wheels and tyres

thanks

They're the wrong offset, so unless you want to be messing around with spacers you won't be able to use them

ok just found out they came off a 2013 Fiesta mca zetec
what wheel spacers will i need, any links etc ?

thanks

As a first step, look at both alloy wheels, they should be embossed with either E, or ET, followed by two numbers. Take the lower number from the higher number, this will give you the correct width of spacer you need.

The offset of Fiesta Mk7 wheels is ET47.5

If the wheels are 6x15 which most probably they are, then the math is simple.
Puma needs 34 mm. So you would need spacer of 13.5 mm (47.5-34) to bring them to the correct value. You can go out further and go for 15 mm spacers (presumable they are offered in 5 mm increments, unless you decide to fabricate your own bespoke spacers)
