Default Rims on a Focus

Hi all,

What size rims could i get on my focus? I dont intend on lowering it much, if at all.

I know 17's will go on with no problem, what about 18's or even 19's??

What tyres also? Could i get wider ones on the rear and slightly thiner ones on the front?

Andy RST - Cheers fella, any chance of the link for those puppies?

Mr Manchester - 19" OZ Lageras heh! I'll try and see if i can track a photos of these as i'm quite fussy!

Cossiemen - Good idea, dont think i could quite bring the 'bling' factor with a standard looking 3 door!

88_WRC_Replica - I'd like to see that!

mattysxguy - Their nice, i'll keep an eye on them............

Could i use 215/40's as theres to many pot holes where i live/work and dont wanna run the risk of having one blow.

Whats with the ST170 shocks then? They any different to the Zetec shocks?? What make springs are you using??
