From what I know I believe it's a 17X7 inch Rim. Do you have an Owner's Manual? If you do you'll find info in the 'Tyres' section. Failing that there's info on the inside of the Glove Box Lid.
Hope this helps.

Laws on wheel size are dependant on state, but the general rule is no more than 1" wider, and rolling diameter can't change by around 2cm.

It is a 17x7 rim size, standard tyre size is 215/45/17
The widest you could fit is 225/45/17 but you may get rubbing with a full car load

Ford Aus should also bring in the 3-door model.
