the 18s you have compliment the car very well mate.what profile tyre do you have on the 18s dave

hineho87

not sure if ur sorted on tyres, but goin for 45mm profile helps fill the arches abit when lowering. Iv got 40mm profile with 30mm eibachs and it doesnt always look the lowest. Yet i know sumone with the st170 drop of 15mm with 45 profile tyres and his looks as low or lower than mine!!

ive often thought that as well mate.ive seen 35mm drop on some focuses and it looks really low and then some dont.do you think it depends on who makes the springs

jammerrs

it will to an extent, but i think tyre size on the focus makes them look alot lower than they are

im running 205/40/17s at the minute.what profile tyre did the st170 use?

Davemurphy007

On the white 17's those tyres are 215/40/17's

On the 18's they are 215/35/18's.

Standard ST170 tyre size is 215/45/17 but the special edition MP3 runs 215/40/17's so you have a choice with 17's. I personally wouldn't run 205/40/17's as you really miss that 10mm of tread on the deck from each tyre and you can EASILY get away with it in the arches.

Cheers about the compliments on the wheels, took me ages to find a set I liked and they came up for a good price! Only small shame is that they are multi-fitment so have extra stud holes but you can't win them all.

delterflier

my car looks lower than daves on the front,and my springs are spax 35mm and there not even settled in yet lol im running 205/40/17s

Davemurphy007

The first line of my first post says they are lowered on Eibachs..........I wouldnt fit any other lowering springs.

MP3's are not lowered from the factory but they have the special edition 17" alloys.

Front bumper is a facelift (no indicators) Collection front bumper which will be going up for sale as soon as I can get hold of a standard front bumper (which is proving fucking annoyingly difficult!!!)

i got my bumper new from ebay

Cheers mate the tyres are 215/45/17 thought I'd fit them as the st170 comes with that size standard.
