Hey guys,
If I'm measuring bolt hole sizes etc, is it the diagonal center to center measurement I use? i.e. 108mm for mine? :unsure:
thanks,
S.

hey just a thought on offsets
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

Ya, I think I have found a guy selling his steelies from a 2005 Focus, so I'm going to try to grab them I think. Then when it's time, I can mount the summers.
But.... I'll also think about what you said about the azenis'. I'm not worried about performance :D ...I drive a 2000 wagon with da SPI lol.
thanks Naz

you should totally use that SPI '00 wagon to spank people at autoX. :)
i've seen the most unlikely vehicles get amazing raw times with just driver and good tires.. a lot of people (myself included) have a lot of respect for drivers who can use underpowered cars to hang in the turns
