Focus stud Pattern

[blue_focus]

Hi just wondering what the 2006 on ward focus stud pattern is. I think it 5x 114 but just want to make sure. Thanks.

[Tj-zetec]

it's 5 x 108 unfortunately. Not the easiest stud pattern to find aftermarket wheels for, but not impossible.

I'll save you the 'use the search button' comments. I think if people have the time and energy to make a useless comment like that, you have time to answer the question.

5 x 114.3 with +50 isn't that easy to find for my SR2 either. AU is close but they stick out!

Check out tempe tyres. They have a car wizard and a few
nice looking rims. Hope to get mine in a couple of weeks

I got my set when the new shape came out in 05. I had a blank set drilled to specs did not cost me any extra.
I am sure most wheel places would know who to get this done through

[Tj-zetec]

Most would gladly do it. It just limits your choices a little

Just to grave dig threads a bit, can anyone help me with finding some wheels for my 2008 Focus TDCI?

What stud pattern is it? I want some like the RS Focus ideally, just really like the multi spoke style (very rally spec I think)

Stud pattern at top of the page - hasnt changed.

5x108, speedy wheels, Tyre King, Tempe Tyres all good places to look.

But youll need to look at manufacturers and see - could always buy the FRS ones,

a bit expensive - but it comes down to what you want. If you want it bad enough then youll get it.

It's worth noting that the RS wheels have a different offset and wont fit without spacers which, as it turns out, are illegal to use in NSW and probably the rest of the country.

I believe XR5 wheels are the same offset as the standard focus, however

Anyone got some Australian sites? The RS wheels would be perfect if they were A) cheaper and B) fitted haha but thanks for that anyway

I've been looking for rims recently and Australian sites just don't have a very wide range of rims with the 5-108 bolt pattern. Also getting them from overseas may be cheaper than getting them locally.

Jonesee11, this style may interest you if you're after rally spec: http://www.mountunestore.com/Product...tweight-alloys

(Click ex VAT prices - we don't have to pay VAT)

'Frozen_XR5' im not being cheap, and no my car isn't cheap...but $500 EUR per wheel, is a bit excessive, especially for a wheel that doesn't even fit my car.

I will keep looking around, anyone have ideas about postage/shipping to AUS for wheels? (e.g. has anyone done this and what'd it set you back?)

good answer. cheaper does not always mean cheap...

no disrepect broady that maybe true but when it comes down to the engineering and the metal quality that goes into make a wheel you wont get much under $300 per rim. also of the shelf wheels usually dont have to correct offset or offer custom offsets..

If you're wheels come to over $1,000; you'll need to pay GST (10%), as well as additional customs duty (10-15%), calculated on the total cost of goods + shipping + insurance. Can get really pricey, really quickly if you're not careful!

Did a quick shop on one of the shops recommended by Frozen, and found some wicked wheels I really like. Using their converter to AUS dollars, it says I can get a set of rims (without tyres) delivered to Australia for around $960ish???

Seems really cheap! (sorry to use that word again Frozen) Anyone had any experience with www.performancealloys.com ?

Edit: Also, I have been searching wheels under 2008 Focus TDCI Zetec (seemed the closest to my car), would the UK version have a different stud pattern or offset? I would probably email the place before buying just to double check the offset and stud pattern, but just thought i'd query it here
