Are you asking if my Focus can use 10j MOs or if Compomotive has them!?

Ho forget it, is affirmative in both options... yes I can run 10j MOs on my focus since the DZ1s are 10j... and yes, there are MOs in 10j... click here.

Since that one meet, I run the stock wheels...



I blown a tire on the MO6s
and was waiting for new ones
that arrived the other day....



fitted them
but it seem this one tire is bigger
so it was hitting the spring cap
and I need to put 1cm back...


( must find satisfying solution to lower more )

this is how it sits now...

Not much going on

and some paint damage from the everyday life.



Some pictures to save the post...
