Anyone lowered on 16" steelies?
I'm new on here so excuse me if i fumble up! I'm feeling rather incapable and this is my second post! so..... Hello?
just got a fresh 2001 focus estate (my third ever car and ford) and was thinking of using citroen c5 16" steelies on her. then lowering it maybe 50mm on coilovers.
Anyone know if the citroen steels stick out the arches? 16x6.5 et26. and recommendations for estate coilovers? how much of a paini is it to convert to the ford 5 stud wheel hub?
I'm on 14's at the moment and wanting to look different without 'trying too hard"
pictures of your focus' on steelies would also be appreciated!

i seek your wisdom!
Edit* so this is long overdue so I thought I'd update with an answer to my own question 😁
Before: Original springs and shocks with 14" steel wheels.
After: Eibach 30mm lowering springs with Bilstein shocks. 16" Alcar KFZ 7095 6.5J X 16" ET 47.5 4X108 CENTRE BORE 63.5 205/50 R16 tyres
The steelies are still available new for Ł52 from https://www.oponeo.co.uk/steel-wheel/alcar-kfz-7095
I was sick of seeing the old wheels every time I googled "ford focus steelies"
