EmoMorales Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Have some rims from my 13 focus I want to put on my 14 TC. They are 235/40R 18. I know the bolt patern is the same. Anyone done this before? MediaBart 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omniphil Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Focus ST it sounds like The bolt pattern is probably the same, but I don't think they will clear the suspension? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ccrew Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 They'll fit. With that said though the tires aren't load rated for the GVW of the Transit Connect though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmoMorales Posted April 16, 2015 Author Share Posted April 16, 2015 I did some checking on this. I went on tirerack.com and looked up 18 inch tires for the TC and the tires I have on the rims came up. The tires from the factory are rated 97/1602 lbs max each. The tires I have on the rims are rated 95/1502 lbs max each. The rims are 1600 lbs max each. The GVWR is 5270 lbs and the curb weight is 3618 lbs. looks like I'm good to go. as far as clearing the suspension I will try this weekend.

I put them on and they cleared everything suspension wise. The truck already had a rough ride before the rim change, but after it was like riding in a tank. you could feel every bit of the road. I took them off and put the factory ones back on. up to 18's is too much of a change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

103west43rd Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 (edited) Hello EmoMorales. Thanks for the posting. Our 2014-2015 Transit Connect forum members now know a Ford wheel and tire combination that fits. They look very nice and sure fill up those wheel well's!.

EmoMorales Posted May 17, 2015 Author Share Posted May 17, 2015 (edited) Hello EmoMorales. Thanks for the posting.

The Rims are 18 X 8 with a 42MM offset. The tires are 235/40R18 with a 25.4" Diameter. It also looks as if you can put a 235/45/18 with a 26.33" Diameter and a 225/45/18 with a 25.97" Diameter on that rim and still have room in the wheel wells. The original tires had 25.31 diameter with somewhere between 50MM and 53MM offset. Edited May 17, 2015 by EmoMorales Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a 2017 and have 2016 Focus 18” I wanna put on my TC. How are they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fifty150 Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 2013 model year is slightly different than 2014. Here are the OEM specs. You need to check the specs on the wheels that you have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
