LR Alloy Wheels

[Talldude]

Hey all


Was looking at eBay and at the moment there are a few Fiiesta alloy wheels for sale.

They are 16' but they look better then mine.

I'm talking about WQ model focus with the Zetec wheels.

They are 4 stud. 6' wide

Would they work or would the tires be smaller?

The Fiesta wheels will bolt up to an LR Focus, but the tyre profile probably wouldn't suit.

What do you mean by tire profile wouldnt suit?

the fiesta is Front - diameter( mm) 195/45 R16
Rim Material Alloy
Front Rim Description 16x7.0

focus is
Front - diameter( mm) 205/50 R16 V
Rim Material Alloy
Front Rim Description 16x6.0

is that too small for the focus?

The Fiesta wheel and tyre will measure 58.2 cm tall and the Focus combo will be 61.15cm tall.

Your speedo will be around 5% out.

Fool around with this site

The 17inch Fiesta XR4 (ST) wheels fit also....here is the proof! My sister's LR focus zetec three door - came with these wheels when purchased from another forum member on here. They are the wrong rolling diameter versus the original focus zetec 16inch that came with the car but not out too much. the speed does show 6km/h higher speed than atcual but will adress that with new tyres by increasing tyre profile. I think it looks pretty good with this tyre set no?

Yeah that look very nice!

anyone know anyone selling Xr4 wheels?

[Talldude]

Alright might be a stupid question if wheels have an 100 offset would a spaecer be needed to make them fit the offset of the focus which is 108? or is the other way round and therefore wont fit full stop?

Never both with wheels before.

I have to say it looks smaller in the rear, looks a little too skinny and too short.

It's mint though! But definitely needs bigger tyres.

These measurements are the stud pattern, the LR and WP, WQ and WS Fiesta are all 4x108, it is the offset you need to look at.

I had the 17x7 MP3 alloys from the LR Focus on my Fiesta, they had a +49 offset, the XR4 rims have a +52 offset which means the rim actually sits further in towards the car, which is why these look a little small on the LR

[Talldude]

So a 4*100 will fit as long as offset is the same?

[Twinpiston]

No, you need 4 x 108
