Weren't they originally for the Racing Puma?

They mount the rear hub assemblies further out on the rear axle stubs to widen the rear track.

I'm thinking of getting the 10mm ones for my Fiesta.

Have you got the FINIS code for them, by any chance?

In theory this should make the car more likely to track in a straight line and be less effected by crappy UK roads throwing you into the hedge for no reason.

I'm interested to know how they behave and how they make the arse end look!

Yeah i fitted some rear spacers, 10mm same as sasst. You can really only see the difference if you lie down and look down from the front tyre to the rear and you can see the rear wheel poking out a bit more from the arch.
