yea they fit buddy my mate lou has a set on his silver standard shell with a zetec turbo fitted they also look ace mate

rsfido_1989

perfect cheers for that bud. not sure if they look too small now :s think if it was on coils really low might suit it. . whats everybody think? or do i get the st170 painted red? (its a black st170 with tints and tinted lights.. going for a all black look on the body)

Robmatheson

only pic i have , belongs to a guy on this site i think

i put mine on my focus with 205 tyres will need a massive drop to look right over 60mm

rsfido_1989

twas what i was thinking marky g it would need stretch tyres to tuck up the arches

marky_g

its mainly the drop mate think be biggest wheel on a std focus shell is a 17 with a 45 profile tyre there is so much arch

if you gonna do it you gotta go-80 to -100mm on coilovers would look the bollocks tho

rsfido_1989

yeh my st 17s look just right i think. i would love to escos wheel it on coils. . think i will start saving for the bits now.

Don't suit it at all imo

they look utter shite IMO

nugnah

prefer st170 alloys myself, escos wheels don't suit the car sorry IMO

not keen at all tbh look way too small!

why not paint your st170 alloys panther black? that would look lush

u can get the escos wheels in 18 iirc but i dont where from they would look better bigger in 16 inch form it looks crap

Csm

Seen a few run about with the mondeo zetecs 16s and they dont suit the focus either

Has to be st170 multispokes for the focus or the mp3 wheels imo

Yup they look shite, too small and stick out loads, so expect shit handling and knackered wheel bearings in no time!

declan morris

Dont do it, they look shite

marky_g

get on ebay coilovers from Ł160 to Ł190 on there

with a massive drop and stretch it would look cool

didnt find mine stuck out that much to be honest easy get away with 205's

if i dint by my focus for the sole purpose of it just bein a work horse i'd be doin it

or maybe some 16x7.5 and 16x9 keskin KT1's, or Borbet A's

i LOVE Escos wheels on just about anything but on a Focus they look pish!

Robmatheson

partly true , needs to be on its arches with lots of tire stretch to pull it off.

marky_g

then it becomes totaly impractical shame rely think the focus is like the mk4 golf you need 18's rely

And then they ride like a piece of shit Putting 18s on my old focus was the worst thing i ever did to it!

marky_g

this is the poroblem im gonna be running 8j 17's hopefully best of both worlds lol

hatton89

i got cossy alloys on my mk5 fiesta zetec s with a 195/45 tyre bit of a stretch and dont find the handling crap.

mind you i have no paint left on the front arches :P

17s are the best to have on the Focus I think. I've got 17s on mine.

Best rim by a country mile though has to be the Focus RS OZ 5 spokes.

Try some 18inch escos wheels thats if you can find any,the 16s look to small.

hatton89

they are stupid exspensive though aint they have to be made

Oranoco

Look absolute wank imho, too small and totally out of keeping with the rest of the cars lines. The Escort Cos wheels are also ET25 offset as opposed to the Focus ET40.

I'd look at getting your stock ST170 wheels refinished instead

CoupeUK

I found it so hard to choose wheels for my ST170 that im buying back my originals and eBaying my aftermarket ones in a month or so.....seems really hard to find a nice set of wheels to suit any Focus!

rsfido_1989

what wheels do you have mate

CoupeUK

My ones? BSA Bullits, as per my sig.

Pretty battered though tbf, need a refurb when I can get the lockers off....

rsfido_1989

what size are they?

thebigmacmoomin

I had BSA Bullets on my silver 3dr Focus. Looked ace

CoupeUK

17's.

I bloody hate them, I had soomeone take it to have a set of tyres put on it and they got the wrong ones.....

I think they just make the car look odd IMHO.

rsfido_1989

would like to see these up close to see what they look like may fancy a change of my wheels . . . .

jammerrs

look awsome when they are really low

other then cossie wheels the only other nice ones on focus' have to be standard st170's spaced out a little bit

CoupeUK

I'm going out in a sec but i'll get some better pics up later on tonight when I get back.....i'm coming home this weekend if you want to meet up and have a look.

What state are yours in?

rsfido_1989

no curbing just some scuffs.

Focus does suit 5 spokes. Lenso RS5s are a personal favourite. Compomotive MO 5 spokes as well. My Atek Tek 1 5 spokes as well. And as said RS 5 spokes. Additionally OZ superleggeras or superturismos are a good choice.
