Can I Put These Wheels On?

[lawrie1947]

Hi,
My 2001 focus zetec has wheels that are 15inch and tyres:

195/60H15

Can I fit these?

14" steel wheels with 185/65/R14 on?

I have checked with sites and 14" tyres do not come up for my car.

Thanks

Hi,

Bit lost here :( Sorry

All I know is that I currently have standard alloys that are 15" and have 195/60H15 tyres on.

I have seen some winter tyres I would like to buy and they are on steel wheels and are 185/65/R14

I assume the wheels are 14" and have 14" rim diameter

The guy that has them had a 2003 focus.

Sorry i have sorted it now, it looked ok till i posted it lol.

are the wheels for your car, the right amount of studs, the right pcd ect

a 2001 focus wheels

PCD ET Centre Bore

4×108 35 to 45 63.4

14" will normally fit if they are focus steels but there is alot more to take into account than just the diameter of the wheel including the info george just posted amount of studs and PCD, PCD is the distance between each stud if those are fine you need to take into account the ET, that is the distance between edge of the rim to the centre where it makes contact with the hub, this directly affects the "poke" how much the wheel poke out from under the wheel arch (IIRC 25mm is the max poke allowed from under the wheel arch, this excludes tyre thread, none of the tyre thread is allowed beyond the wheel arch) if those are all fine clearance of the brakes need to be checked too, unfortunately mate i can't say for sure they will fit

Need more details on the rims you want to buy, or at least what they are off and year of motor then we can look them up.

Just noticed you said 2003 Focus, if thats true and he had them fitted to that then they will fit.

[lawrie1947]

Thanks guys for taking the time :)

Both mine and his have 4 studs but reassured that they will fit.

I just wondered if a zetec had different stats about the wheels or that it just referred to the engine.

No if he had them on a 2003 focus you will be ok, 2004-2005 they changed to 5 stud.
