ford focus rims fitment?

[Jason Mawhinney]

The best 16" tire size for keeping the speedo accurate is 205/45.  My 4kq
has this set up and it works pretty well.  As for the offset of the offset
that our cars will accept and what the Focus has, I don't know.  There was
a post with a link posted not long ago showing the factory wheel sizes for
most cars.  Hopefully that will help you out.
Good luck and let us know what you find!
