I want 18's but can't find any info on what the offset should be so I won't rub. Any help would be great. Or should I go with the ever popular 17's, boring..... [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

I believe if you stay w/ 43-45mm you should be fine, but you might want to do a search on offset to make sure. It mainly deals w/ width, not diameter. Hope this helps.

Focus = 42mm positive offset
40mm positive will be ok... |

tread width or overall width will make a difference too. You don't want yer tires to rub when you turn the wheels. You should be able to turn the steering wheel lock to lock and not have the tires rub.
