I also recommended the 17x8.5's as a better option than the 17x8's, not because it is the best option, fyi.
If he was running 17x8.5 with stock body, then I would say 205/45-17 all the way. I guess what you are saying is run 205's on wheels that are inside of the wheel well?

not being a dick, just figured you were joking around with the bone nasty comment... RS flares might be a different story but for reference....
15x8 19et with a 205/55(iirc) tire and dumped....
a 8.5 26et will sit at pretty much the same outer point but with a 235 or 245 there will be a LOT of extra meat beyond that tire and having seen a few RS kits there isn't THAT much space unless you have OEM RS fenders and not flares.
on a stock bodied car, you'd need to unfold the lips and roll/flare the hell out of them and run the car pretty high not to rub! you're talking a tire that is almost an 1" wider(or more depending on the tire) on EITHER side!!!
you'd have to be running pretty crazy camber to fit that in a Focus, RS flares/fenders or not.
WRC fenders would be a different story!
