In Topic: Ford Focus 2007 1.8Tdci Obd2 Code Storage

If the light has been on, even if its gone off again there should be a code stored,,,, BUT all reading software is different, and some will pick up codes, where others won't.

Hi Amran and welcome to FOC.
The 18" St rims will fit your focus no problem,
The 18" st rims that you have in the image above are 2005-2008 design st rims,
They will fit your focus no problem,

But if you want to keep the focus eira correct then you should fit st 2008-2011 rims

Both styles are 18x8 and I recommend 225/40/R18 tyres
I've got Avon ZZ3's fitted they cost around 110pounds each but fantastic grip even over legal speed limits
Excellent cornering grip too.

You car will be a bit slower on 0-60 acceleration after fitting bigger rims because it adds extra "unsprung mass" to the car but it makes up for it in terms of handling,

Lenny, surely you meant 215/45/18, not 55 ??? Profile would be way to big. Personally would opt for 225/40/18's myself.

You've just edited your post haha.

Have you not got a Haynes manual ? If your gonna tackle it yourself its prob best to have one. I did mine on the 1.8tdci, and it was a pain in the bottom. Situated pretty much in the same place as yours, and all sorts had to come off, including drivers wheel, undertray, complete inner wheel arch, the list goes on. Very very fiddly job on mine, space being the main problem.

You won't be able to hear a noise by simply jacking the car up and spinning the wheel lol. You need to check for play by grabbing the wheel top and bottom and rocking it, also side to side, any movement and its a bearing on its way to collapsing.
