Thumbs up Focus RS wheels on Saff

I'm thinking of getting some Focus RS wheels for my saff and wondered what if anything requires modifying to get them to fit. My car is a 2wd lowered on coil overs.

Any help greatly appreciated

17's are the biggest wheels for saphs imo and the opinion of many others, anything bigger fooks the ride and handling up,

Not a fan of them, they look too bulky and oversized on a saff, but its your car. your choice. 18''s have been done many time, so they will go on!

Thanks for the comments, not really sure what wheels i want to change to yet but think i will stick to 16's/17's at a maximum don't want to mess the handling up too much. A mate of mine bought some Rota Grid wheels for his impreza which look quite nice not sure on a cossie though.

Thanks again
