Default Contour rims

Do all Contour rims fit on Focus'? I am looking at a good deal on the 15", 6 spoke aluminum wheels. I think the years are 95-98.

The Contour rims I am referring to are not SVT wheels. I have a picture of the wheel, have no clue on how to post it. If someone wants to do the honors, I will e-mail it to them.

Never even gave brake clearance a consideration. I am watching them on E-bay. That's a chance i'm gonna have to take.

There is a six-spoke Contour wheel that will NOT fit. Someone has tried this already. It snags on the brake caliper!

My wife has a 99 SE Tour with the aluminum wheels. They fit the Focus. I couldn't get her to swap so I bought a set of Rage Race 10's. The wheels on the car in the picture are different, I'd check the offset 1st to make sure they fit.

At this moment, I am the high bidder on the rims. One day to go on the auction. I hate to keep asking, but does anyone know if these rims will work? I don't want to go throught the hassle of trying to resell them if they don't work. Thanks.

How r the Rims working out? I just got the 8 spoke wheels for the contour, much better than stock.

[img]images/icons/blush.gif[/img] I just noticed that this message was a year old. I was doing a search for contour wheels. I guess I am not used to it being 2002, I am such a geek [img]images/icons/blush.gif[/img] [img]images/icons/rolleyes.gif[/img]

The rims worked out great. Although they are now just my winter wheels. Here is a recent pic of them in "Winter" mode.
