I'm wanting to get a set of summer rims for my Focus but am curious to find out the max size I can go with for my model and if 4/100, 4/105 or 4/108 is compatible with it.
Thanks!

4 x 108 is the bolt pattern (something of a limiting factor in terms of wheel selection) 17s fit comfortably with 215 40 or 45 rubber ... a number of guys on here have 18s but the aspect ratio is pretty low - not sure what it is but not a lot of rubber there to protect from pot holes.

I've seen 20's on a focus out here in BC. They were on like 35 series rubber bands.

You'll need to roll the fenders well or better yet (and much more cost), move to a widebody Focus RS kit. Those kits allow an 18" wheel set to fit without further modifications.

I had to roll my fenders with 17's to prevent rubbing when running 45 profile. With 40 profile I had no issues but you sure felt those bumps a lot more.
