How much drop are you running to get the rubbage? $500 is hard to pass up for 18's with new tires.

I'm running Eibach Pro-Lines that have been in for 5 years. So I would say nearly 1.75". Like I said, the tires are fine 95% of the time it's only when the wheel dives on a bump plus turning.

with coilovers or really stiff suspension, these would be mint as they would more then likely never hit the fender, just the fact that they are on stock shocks and eibachs is really soft, almost stock like.

They are SVT dampers though, just to clarify.

Heck , don't sell the wheels , just install some konis adjustable , set them on "stiff" and no more worries about leaning , plus you'll have performance suspension too.

I hear you, but the Mustang already comes with a performance suspension. The Focus is being retired to strictly crappy weather daily driver status.
I've already got the stock ST 16"ers and steelies with snows; I don't need a third set of tires for a beater car.
Going to be getting rid of another set as well, I have a set of Taurus SHO rims with brand new tires too. Too bad they're 5-lug, they're a nice rim with Eagle GTs.

1999 style. Like these:
I haven't taken pics yet I have to get them down from the top of the garage. But they're mint. Never used in winter, I had snows. Took them off for the winter and the wife spun out the car 2 1/2 years ago. I'll check but they should be P225/55-R16s

Well, I wouldn't go that far, but I don't want to have to drive the truck all winter, it's pretty hard on gas. To be honest the deciding factor is that the car has nearly 170k on it but only 40k on the engine, it's worth more to me than the few grand I'd get out of it; I can drive it for 2 more years and give it away to my kid when he graduates university.

How much drop can be handled with these rims, with the fenders rolled?
now that i'm planning on going with adjustabel coil-overs, i want to know how low I could potentially go with these. As per before winter, I'm just as interested in these now as I was then. But, you already know I'm not offering you full asking price - but if you want them gone send me a PM and we can bargain it out.

I'm dropped an inch and a half, my springs are 5 years old, I only have the SVT dampers and my fenders aren't rolled. The only time I get rubbing is when I'm on a tight turn and hit a good dip at the same time. Stiffer dampers and/or rolled fenders you'd probably be ok.
This was mainly happening on my way out from work getting on the QEW; there is a tight turning onramp that is banked the wrong way and a few dips. The day after the ramp opened a tractor-trailer flipped on its side and killed the driver.
At any rate, I've got a guy with an offer in that's coming on the weekend, if he bails I'll PM you.
