Default Wheels to fit an ST170

Hi
The wheels on my ST170 are getting worse for wear and really need refurbing. I need the car day to day so am looking into accquiring some cheepo steel wheels or alloys to put on while they are being re-done.

Does anybody know what wheels will fit over the front discs and calipers, was looking to fit a set of 15's off a zetec focus or similar but am not sure if they will fit?

cheers

Yep, that pretty much covers my question; going to get an ST170 as track slag, wondering what the smallest wheels I could put on it would be. 16" then. Cheers!

15inch is the smallest size which most aftermarket wheels fly over the calipers and 15inch ford wheels will fit if you take a few mm off the sides of the calipers.

Im wearing 15inch pro race 1.2s alloys over st170 brakes without mods or spacers.

Car's been delivered, sitting on 17" Wolfrace alloys now, wonder if I could persuade someone going up a few sizes to trade with me? Be nice if they came ready clad in R888s or something
