52.5mm is stock for normal Focuses. 49mm is stock for SVTs

from a rubbing standpoint, 42mm apparently will give you some rub depending how you drive, what tire you run and how much you are lowered

from a driving dynamics standpoint i recommend trying to keep your new wheels as close to stock as possible.  you can do your own research on this, but basically the wheel offset is an integral part of the suspension design (remember that the suspension's primary job is to keep the contact patches on the road at all times), and if you deviate from the OE offset you are essentially messing with your suspension

from a show pointz stand point this doesn't matter as long as the wheel is 'maD tYtE' but ya.. if this is a performance mod, proceed with caution re the offset

No, nothing special going on with my fofo, just want some rims (steelies) to put summers on, save keep changing them over....and the fact that the rims I got with the car are 14's. I think the standards are 15's, no?
