**ZX3TUNING** · 05-26-2009, 03:58 PM

do the 4x100 conversion and they will fit and still be cheaper than REAL BBS RS's!!!

just a little update on my euroness progress. i might have to push the wheels. money is just getting tighter and tighter. I got a call today about my KWs, no one in the states has the kit for the focus, so im having to wait 2 weeks for a new kit to come from Germany.

I was seriously considering getting a set, but the highest offset is an et 35, and with a one inch spacer effectively giving these a 10 mm offset, I didn't want to roll the fenders in order to get them to fit.

**Spatakula** · 05-26-2009, 09:28 PM

And only available in a 16x7.

made by Konig.

lol

redrill your hubs and rotors to 4x100.... DONE!
no screwing around with adaptors, and they will still be a 35et!

**Take_That_Subspace!** · 05-26-2009, 11:00 PM

Firstly: 16x7 = (.)(.)

Secondly: I want to keep my stock 15s for winter shoes. I cant do that if I re-drill the hubs. Although I toyed around with the idea of drilling the wheels to 4x108.

**ZX3TUNING** · 05-26-2009, 11:27 PM

why couldn't you?
the hubs and rotors will still be 4x108 along with the 4x100, you just have it rotated 90° and redrill...
bang the studs out and punch them back in to the 4x108 holes for winter. New studs are like $1.50 each it's not like it's a costly venture!

That sucks man! I tried 2 different places and was told the EXACT same thing. But when I ordered them from Horsepower Freaks they told me it would be about the same time frame, but I got them in a little over a weeks time. I have had them on my car for a little over a week now and I love them. You won't be disappointed....they get nice and low and although they are a little stiff (I've only driven on them at nearly full drop though which doesn't help) they aren't as rough as some trucks I have riden in.

Anyway, those Maxxims are nice, but I'd rather just spend $1000-$1300 on a REAL set of 17" BBS's. Get 8s up front and 9s in the rear.

no, but you did use it multiple times on different cars that honestly look better than the ones I used it for

although I think it was mentioned the one was permanent, but the rear tire on the yellow car just doesn't look right. Maybe with a bit of stretch.

And both cars are still way too 4x4 for the look. Drop it some more and it might look better, but until then its just not quite what it could be.

That's my dawg. =)

**FocusSTGuy** · 06-01-2009, 11:42 AM

**focusownerskid** · 06-01-2009, 11:43 AM

Does that vehicle have the 'nitetimebohler' hatch mod?

Gorgeous!

I think you should ask Joseph where he got the idea from.

I agree 100%! Headlights look kinda cheap....ST170s would be perfect. US spec grill FTL. Regular Euro grill of some sort would look MUCH better. Everything else

**FocusSportREP4** · 06-04-2009, 07:16 PM

Well he was either going for style/rarity with the grill and headlights

. You could only imagine how common ST170 lights are for those guys.

Could have gone with a Mach Edition front grill....just a thought. Beautiful car.

Even just a regular SVT would be an improvement.

Although the Mach grille is even rare over here...
