Dodgy Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Hi all, new member on here. I was just wondering do the Focus ST wheels fit straight on or do you need to fit any spacers ? Many thanks Darren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hal Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 Hi all, new member on here. I was just wondering do the Focus ST wheels fit straight on or do you need to fit any spacers ? Many thanks Darren If you are talking about the 18x8 wheels used on the European version of the Focus ST, they will fit with no problems or spacers. If your are talking about the 17x7 wheels used on the US version of the Focus ST, they won't even fit. Both sets of wheels are 52.5mm offset so no spacers needed. But the bolt circle on the Euro ST and the TC are 5 x 108 and the US ST is 4 x 108 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW1 Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Hello TC Forum, First time poster. I just fitted my Focus ST 18x8 wheels w/o tires on my 2011 Transit Connect in the front and it was a pretty tight fit. I do have some clearance but it's only about 1/4" to 1/2" gap to the strut. So I'm afraid once I mount the tires(235/40r18) they will rub against the strut. The Rear wheel clearance seem to be ok. Any suggestions? Do I need a 10mm spacer and longer studs for the front wheels? Some one said that a Steering Limiter is required when using bigger 18" wheels. Thanks for any help or response.

Fifty150 Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 In general, spacers are not a good idea. It's best to use wheels and tires that fit without clearance and turning issues. Offset & backspace are just as important as diameter & width measurements. Look online for fitment guides. Use the online wheel & tire calculators to spec the correct combination, then with the right measurements, shop for your aftermarket package.
