as the above a want some focas st wheels on my new mondeo tdci zetec s, its a 5 stud and already has 18inch alloys (the diamond cut ones) so pattern is right just dont want the offset to be wrong and it scrub tyres.

can any one shed any light on it?? thanks.

 

no rim width wouldn't alter any thing really, only if they were close to the arch but they are a mile off .

 

going to use the tyres on the original alloys i think because they are brand new ones. 225/40/18 eagle f1's

 

im having them done in anthricite colour as well, the cars bight silver, really black tints, smoked side repeaters. and lowered on it arse.

 

i thought about this, but the cost of the alloys was a bit much to run the risk of them not fitting so i kept with the mondeo alloys

they are 18 x 7.5's so there is only half an inch in ot, but the mondeo ones do look fairly chunky in the arches

 

no pictures yet because i dont have any wheels, hense the post. im trying to make it different but subtile (if thats spelt right) lol. got to admit i do like the alloys on it now but i think anthricite st ones will look the business, carn't decide on coilovers or just springs???

 

yeh but how low will these go??? i think the car sits way to high now so i want to get it as low as possible so the 18" will look bigger than they are.

 

i was after the you carn't see the top of the wheel look though lol. and with coilovers i good drop it level accross the car rather than having it lower on the front than back?? how come manufactorers do this???

 

i'll post a set of the 18's up on mine, but it does seem to be on the limit of what the arches will take and what feels comfortable to use everyday

if you can get a pic of the rims you want i'll stick them onto the mondeo

 

would look cack imo.

 

seconded phil

 

why would that look cack??? looks well nice on the st rims and in a dark colour on a silver car it will look nice, thanksGary_R

 

I think it could look smart.

 

why would you want to change from the orig diamond cut ones? theyre ace

 

Will look good mate, i know a bloke with ST220 alloys on his focus ST, so vica versa will be ok

My mk3 mondy is still rolling around on 16" steels

get my 18's bought then!!!!! lol

 

they the 5 spoke ones?? I would but I'm supposed to be saving for a house, unless they are cheaper than cheap

 

here's mine



they fill the arches fine, give a good ride, and look fairly smart
plus they were cheap too

 

dogg my mates got them on his black st focus and they look quality on that
if you want to fill the arches get the same wheels of the S max same wheels but in 20's

i dont really know whats cheaper than cheap but from what these are selling for on ebay i would say they arn't really a cheap wheel?? what do you think they are worth???

 

pics please

 

yeh pics of em

 

I was going to get some Focus ST wheels for mine but when I saw how close the my Zetec-S wheels are to the shocks ( only a few mm gap ) I didn't want to take the risk of the extra 1/2 inch making the tyre rub.

 

um, 50p?

Nah i'm really not too sure mate,what's the tyres like?

 

tyres are mint 2 x brand new ones on the front (budget) and one brand new eagle f1 on back right and again a good tyre on the back left more than 5.5mm tread.

they are in good condition just the back right has a bite mark in it, i'll post pictures of them soon.

 

ill get some the next time i see him
hes also got pics of it on the mondeo multispoke wheels and looks quality on them too

 

only pic my mate had of it and was on his phone.for some reason the wheels look lighter in this pic but look much darker in person

 

i wish it was mine
but your right it is and sounds even better than it looks

 

Daviet Stunning.

 

There's an S-Max in the Rayleigh Essex Ford show room with the 20's on at the mo...
