As subject say, will Focus RS wheels fit straight onto a normal focus and as anybody done this so far

not sure. I have 225's and they dont rub on full lock, not sure what width the RS ones are. diameter wise will be fine though as 19's fit with only a little fetling and my 18's have never touched (yet) on a -35mm drop

My friend Collette had RS Wheels on her 1.8 and she was going through rubber like no tomorrow.. but I was later told her arches wernte flared out properly, so if that had anything to do with it I am not sure.. just basically saying she had 7 punctures in 6 months!

I would think u would struggle as the FRS has 8-18 wheels with a "one off 42mm offset" and most 18" wheels used on non rs focus's are usually between 7 & 7.5" wide.Hope this helps

I think theres better looking after market wheels to choose

I think it has been established that trying to fit RS wheels to a normal focus is gonna give you no end of grief!
The standard wheels come with ET49 or ET52 offsets!
You really need something above ET42 on a standard focus, the RS has too low an offset to fit without rubbing problems due to the 8" width! You might be better off trying to get OZ wheels similar to the RS ones if thats the look you want - at least then you can get the right width for the standard chassis!

i hope RS Focus wheels only fit on the RS Focus, this would mean that the theiving
coonts would have no reason to nick them!!

I have heard many many stories of RS alloys not fitting so to be fair i wouldnt bother, id stick some nicer aftermarket alloys on!
