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)

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

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

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

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.

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

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!

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.
