Hi I have a ford focus estate diesel 2014 right now it has a standard steel wheels 16" on it What I was wondering is it possible for me to put 18"x 8.5 alloys on the car without having to do any modification to the steering so it doesn't rub on the body when I turn hard left or hard right What's me best way around it as the wheels I have found what I really like are that size Any help really appreciate it Thank you in advance
