Default Focus RS mk2 wheels on Focus ST?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Anyone on here done this, just trying to get a idea of how the mk2 RS wheels are on the ST, and would be good to hear from anyone with them on their car. See pics of a couple, just wondering how it affects the handling and ride etc. On a standard ride height car ideally.

lets be realistic, ther are an inch bigger than normal, the cars are not a million miles apart so one would assume that there would not be much difference at all

Not looking for assumptions etc, just looking for people with REAL WORLD experiance. I know they fit, I know what they look like, just want to know, from people who have them fitted on their focus st what the drive is like with them.

fuck me. seriously, did I ask if they fitted? or how you thought they looked? I just asked about the ride and handling, and above I pointed out that thats all I was after! i don't understand why people are struggling so badly to read the post!

I do have info to help you if you want to know.....

You will also need to fit spacers that the RS has, as the wheels will hit the inner arch!

Iv seen it done in Performance Ford. It makes them look really stealthy I think. Less imposing than the standard ones. I saw them on a black facelift ST, quality sleeper.

fitted these to the car a while ago for the record, did require a bit of work but nothing serious. Certainly not "the spacers from the rs" they dont hit the inner arch at all.
