You can easily fit 20's on the Focus with no rubbing or anything. Legally probably 19s.

The foc has a strange wheel stud pattern of 5x108 (i think) The only other cars with this pattern is the Mondeo, Volvos and early (EH) holdens.

Really the only wheel options you have are Factory, or rims that need to be drilled. These rims are usually ones that have covers over the wheelnuts. You can get some purpose made ones from Europe tho.

Personally I find either simple 5 spoke, or a multispoke design (either similar to XR5 or straight spokes) suit the car best.

Your best bet is to visit a few wheel shops and shop around.

From european-parts.net:

It does. Although there is some range of "blank" wheels that get drilled.

[IMG]*clicky*[/IMG] That's a good start...I'm in the same boat, except I want 17s or 18s. I'll probably get undrilled wheels or single-fitment 5 studs and drill them myself, the range is pretty limited, especially if you don't want to spend 3k+
