are they all 8"? is a shame that they look really good. would a low profile tyre not help them fit ?

Yeh there all 8's.. RS's have the flared arches to take them, not sure a small tyre would make enough difference to be honest.

I was thinking about suggesting them, but i thought they would be too wide too.
I assume they're 7.5?

Think there possibly 8's... There 16" though and the ones I've bought have 205/40/16 tyres on them so should help tuck them in a bit I hope. It was a bit of an impulse thing..

I don't want to put a downer on your impulse buy, but i'm not sure if they'll actually look that good.
I seem to remember someone on here who posted up a pic of their mates focus with similar wheels (mondeo ones i think).

Mondeo ones are crap, cossie ones have a cool dish to them.. If I dont like them I'll just stick them on ebay.. i hardly use the car so it can sit on axle stands for a bit longer if it has to..

If you have a pic of your car at a similar angle to this, i'll photoshop it for you if you want.

Its alright, i found a pic that worked. Just imagine its a different colour (and the wheels are a little wider).

I assume the standard st170 wheels are 17s? I tried to make the wheels as close to 16s as possible.

As you said, if not then they can just go on ebay
I actually really like these wheels from the 1.8mp3 (i think).



There was a focus arond my way with those wheels and a decent drop. It looked great.
