Change Wheels From 17 Inch To 18 Inch

Featured Replies

Hi guys,

I've just got a 2013 focus titanium x with the 17 inch wheels. The wheels are a bit rough from curbing so I'm thinking of changing to the 5 spoke 18 inch wheels.

I've seen the 5 spokes advertised on Ford as both silver and gloss black options.

I've seen many with the silver 5 spokes but none with the gloss black.

Has any body seen any and if so what did you think, do they look ok.

FYI, mine is a Frozen white so I think it would suit the black wheels.

I've always liked black wheels on white cars, going from 17 - 18 will firm up the ride a little & cost you more in rubber.

I have 18 on as built and has steering rack restricter fitted turning circle is pants but 18 inch wheels look nice just check to see if yours needs it if up sizing wheels

Where did you get them?

Camskill are really cheap but are supply only. Good if you have a friend that can fit them though!

I got good years from tyre giant order on net and choose fitting centre near you delivered to them and you pay fitting centre for total amount ...cheaper than anywhere I could find fitted

some off the online dealers are running good deals at present

Won't that effect the speedo by changing wheel size??

Not if you keep the rolling circumference the same bigger wheel smaller tyre shoulder

For reference my mk3 18's have 235/40/18 fitted from the factory.

the 5 spoke wheels look really good and will look ace in black

you may not need the steering rack limiter as i moved from 16 to 19 and didnt need it.
