Just out of curiosity though what offset did you go for in the end?
Low enough, and don't worry, I'm pretty sure I can trust Martin's judgment
Already tried a few 18's, but altering a focus wing isn't a chore as they are simple bolt on, so can be easy to manipulate the mounting points a bit. Even easier considering where I work
Its just as well anyway, my car is setup to run 17's anyway, she responds better
Touche Cochyn I was only asking because I'm curious
Have changed a few Focus wings so appreciate what you are saying and, for what it's worth, I use 17's for track work as the handling difference between 17's and 18's on a Focus is astonishing - despite what some of the showcar fraternity on their 19's and 20's seem to think
