and heres a focus st170 hub caipler and disc inside a 15" rim that hasnt been touched by any grinder....



and the room which is 2mm on the bleeding niple with a blancing weight there...


omg please go away bigger wheels dont make the car handle worse!! all bigger wheels will affect is the gearing and power for handling if you fit say going from a 15" 6j wheel to a 18" 8j wheel the car will handle better as you will have more tyre in contact with the road meaning giving you more GRIP!!
Nice rant saddly let down by the fact that your full of shit.

I am well aware the Fiesta and Focus calipers are nearly the same, the Fiesta used smaller discs which fitted behind the 15's I was using, a 300mm disc was an absolute non starter. I did not want to change from 15's as in my opinion (based on trial and error) and that of many others, is they are the optimal size for use on these cars. I also obtained the brakes for a very good price through a friend who was a breaker. The brakes were very effective, certainly found them better than the 4x4 Cosworth setup we had been using on my brothers FRST. They are in fact a very good option for many people.

As for the wheel thing you ARE wrong so get a grip yourself before having a stupid arse rant that just makes you sound like a bit of pre-pubescent teenager that's annoyed at mum for taking your Nintendo away.
