I'm wondering what the standard wheel offset is on the 1.0 zetec s 2015 as I'm looking to buy a new set of wheels and would like an extra 20mm offset. Thanks

    So I want an offset of about 27.5?

    Also is the "7" the width? If so would I get away with 7.5 with a slight tyre stretch?

    27.5 may be okay. Its like having 20mm spacers on standard alloys (47.5). Standard 205/40/17 tyres will fit a 7" alloy, though you could push 215/40/17. (the latter may rub on that offset or if you have obese mates).

    I'm no expert on this, just read a few American forum quotes on bigger tyres as I'm sick of these 40 profiles and want 45's.

    Yeah that's what I'm looking for, the alloys I'm looking at are 7.5" I think and I'm just wondering if my standard tyres will fit.

    What's the difference? Is the 45 just a Hightower tyre wall? I've no idea what all these numbers are haha

    Slightly larger side wall to absorb the poor roads. 45 adds 20mm to the side wall height on the 205/45/17 compared to standard 205/40/17. I've got 15mm spacers to put on the stock alloys with springs, so I'm hoping the 45's fill the arch and don't rub.
