Hello,

Anyone fitted focus RS rims on their ST? Bought RS rims for my ST but they barely fit.
The car is completly stock suspension wise.

So they need some spacers. But does annyone knows which spacers to run?
Got 1mm space at the front between the shock and wheel.
At the rear they rub the shock cover and inner wheel arch tub.

Did some trial fitting at the front i need 3mm spacers and 5mm for the rear to clear.

The hub centres that stick in the rim are 1.1mm. The rims have a skewed side of 3mm at the centre bore of the rim.
If i stick some 5mm spacers on it the hub will stick 1.5mm in the centrebore to centre it. Seems like a bit dangerous...

Anyone experience or tips to fit these rims safely?

 

Hi my mate has a unit next to a guy that has a lot of the st owners club boys come by daily a good few st's running rs rims the guy that owns the unit runs one on these also if you don't get the info you need I will ask him for you when I next see him possibly tomorow

 

That would be great! would really appreciate that !!!

 

No problem mate

 

Yes you will need spacers to cure clearance issues. I used 15mm eibach hubcentric spacers on mine.

 

Just seen him as above 15mm ideally 20mm all round he said not to use denso they snap use eibach or h&r racing

 

recently ditched my frs rims as did not like using spacers and bought aftermarket with a et of 40 instead

 

Thanks for the reply's! Which spacers did you use. Ones with studs in the spacers or studless spacers? Do you need to cut the studs when fitting 15 or 20mm spacers? or did you replace the stock studs with longer ones?

 

you need hubcentric if going spacer route and always chose quality like eibach or h&r, slip over spacers are pure rubbish

 

got some H&R spacers on it 2cm all round. slightlty rubbing on the right front. Hope it get's fixed with a litle alignment.

Thanks for the help!

 

normally fit 12/15mm on the front for this reason as 20 is a tad wide
