Default Re: What have you done to your Focus today?

I gave the car a good clean inside today and decided I'd remove a wheel and try one of the XR5 rims on, holy crap batman there's not a lot of clearance on the inside, I wouldn't be surprised if I have a set of XR5 rims with brand new Nitto Invo's up for sale shortly. I have my doubts they will clear on the inside, there's only about 15mm max clearance from the strut housing with just the bare 18" rim so once the 225 tyre goes on it's gonna be awfully close. I was under the impression that the stock Zetec rims were a 17 x 7" but they're only a 6.5" with an offset of 52.1, compared to the XR5 of 8" and 52.5 offset. Also noticed the OEM front tyres are scrubbing on the inside too, only 35000 k's on the Goodyear Eagle NCT's :(
