Default 15 inch focus stockies, brake clearance?

Morning peeps

I'm currently flogging off my standard 15 inch alloys from my LS, and the question has been poised as to whether or not they will clear XR5T brakes. My initial thought is no, as my standard LS brakes seem to fill out these rims, but just want to confirm?

For anyone else interested i'm chasing $100 firm, but from the sounds of it i'd probably have more luck advertising these on some sort of 'old rusty trailer with ye olde holden hubs' forum...

Cheers!

I'm sorry to say that I don't know, however it does appear to me that the XR5 has the same 15" space saver as the rest of the range.

Maybe an XR5 owner can confirm??

Sorry dude the rims actually sold today :-/

Now, I'm new to owning a focus, is there some secret place the wheel lock nut key lives? Or have I fallen into the lost locknut key hole?

Neale,

I currently have a set of the focus smooth pack ones still in my garage which I still have not got around to selling yet. Had done under 30,000kms before they were taken off so the tread is still good.

Let me know if you want to buy them.

Cheers
