What wheels are they on your focus mate? Your sig is moving too fast, can't make it out

I am looking for 18s for mine, but dunno what width/offset is best

hows the ride? I have 215/35x18's on my st170 but looking at changing the wheels and maybe either 225/35x18 or 215/40x18 to give a little more side wall.

Regards transit no probs, keep us in mind in the future though.

To be honest before fitting the coilovers it was pretty much perfect, My missus used to drive it all the time and never really complained about the ride...

Bit more harsh with the coilovers but still have a fair amount of 'give'. Certainly far from an unpleasant ride.
