I have a mk3 focus with the 18" wheel option,typical cost cutting means I have a pump and a tin of foam,this is poor so I am wanting to fit a full size spare as opposed to a space saver will the 18" alloy fit in the spare wheel kit? Looking forward to hearing replies ,

    I don't think you'll get a full size 18" rim to fit (unless you want the boot carpet to look like Quasimodo lying face down :)).

    I have 17" rims on my Focus Mk3 and even with the spacesaver spare there are still two foam packing pieces (about 4cm high) around the spare wheel well to make the boot carpet sit level.

    A full size spare would be a 5.5J x 16" rim and having had a Mk2.5 with a full size spare I'd guess you'd lose at least 10cm of height in the boot area due to the required much taller foam packing pieces.
