Hey guys what do you think on the ford forcus 4 lug 16" wheels. Ive seen the 15 and they suck, but i think the 16 would fit the 924 nicely.

I am thinking i will need some kind of spacer. Where would i go about getting this backspacing/offset specs from these wheels?

Any opinions welcome.

THANKS

according to these guys http://www.btpautoparts.com/wheelapplicationframes.html

* Ford Focus 2000-Up, 4x107.95, Offset:35
* Ford Focus SE, ZX3 2000-Up, 4x107.95, Offset:40
* Ford Focus ZTS, ZX3 Perf.(5-Lug) 2001-Up, 5x107.95, Offset:42

Google is a good place to start.

So what would be the required total spacer width for each one of those offsets? And how about tire size for those rims. I`m just curious....(I don`t like how low profile tires look) 16`s might look ok though...?

If you got the "Ford Focus 2000-Up, 4x107.95, Offset:35" they would be perfect up to 6.5" or 7" wide. If you went any wider, you would need spacers. Ive got 16x7.5 wheels which have a 35 offset and they needed a 1/4" spacer in the front because I have 225-50 tires and they would rub on the front springs at full turn (if I got 205-55 they would most likely not need spacers).

You can check them out on my website.

Hey alex, that is the exact look I want..

Your car looks great!!!

I dont want low profiles, but something like what alex has. Its factory low profile, which is low but not hey look at me im an idiot low.

By the way alex how does the car handle???!

hey yah those would be great winter rims

[Alex Roy]

I don't really know the extent of how well it handles.......I don't have the digital fuel injection fully installed yet. I only drove it a couple times before ripping out the fuel system and engine. From the little driving in it I did do, at low speed the 225-50's in the front can be a little hard to turn with (205/55's might have been a better choice for the fronts)......but on the freeway and twisty roads around here, I couldn't get it to squeal around turns (went 75 on a 45mph turn and it just stuck to the road without even a squeak).

Any one have a picture of the ZTS rims with the low profiles on a 924??
I'm curious to see what it looks like!
