Hyrule Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Hoping to get some aftermarket alloys soon to replace the stock 16" focus ones. (205/55R16) I've been asked before I make a purchase what offset I will require for front wheels (18inch (225/40/R18) The options are: 8.5J Offset 42 8.5J Offset 45 From what Ive been able to gather online the MK2.5 has a wheel offset of between 35mm - 52mm. So an offset of 42mm should be ok on these 18". Any wheel experts if you could chime in, id be most grateful before I drop a wad of cash on the wheels ;) Cheers B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mixmasterlooney Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 So whats the stock offset then? I would have though either offset will fit under the wheel arch with enough clearance for brake being 18" Sent from my GT-I9300 using Ford OC mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyrule Posted November 28, 2013 Author Share Posted November 28, 2013 Not sure if I answered the questions, but the seller I contacted about the wheels said: 8,5Jx18 ET42 or ET45 is suitable for a Focus Mk2.5, but they recommend 8,5Jx18 ET45 to be on the safe side. Guess it depends on the shape/pattern/design of the alloy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
