hardcore euro wheels? - Page 46 - The Ford Focus Forum

**DeadlyDean** · 07-06-2009, 08:31 PM

sorry o2, but i dont think thats gonna look right. is it already running 195s??? and smaller to fit the fender its gonna look like a front wheel drag tire.

**ZX3TUNING** · 07-06-2009, 08:45 PM

ahhh
ok that's different...
what size tires?
what's the width and offset?
are they 3pc? maybe new inner barrels?

i can have inner barrels made up in any size for any wheel at Kodiak Wheels up here in Abbotsford BC...
more inner will allow you to stretch the tires anre clear the fenders.

**Pappy** · 07-06-2009, 09:09 PM

I believe they are 6.5"s or 7"'s. They are running a 19mm offset if I remember right...

I don't think they are gonna work kyle...

**theindustrialist** · 07-06-2009, 09:57 PM

*makes a sadface*
Rikens look cool, too.

**NHFocus** · 07-06-2009, 10:11 PM

Wow that offset is horrible. The first time I looked I just figured they were like 8.5 or 9 inches wide, obviously I looked too quickly

**Spatakula** · 07-06-2009, 10:34 PM

A+ for effort.

**DeadlyDean** · 07-06-2009, 11:24 PM

I might be wrong but I think those are fairly rare. I applaud your wheel finding skills.

Sucks the offsets don't work out.

**DeadlyDean** · 07-06-2009, 11:50 PM

^they are indeed. old school in fact, ive seen a few honda owners go after them. ive seen a couple of wheel companies like to make replicas of them.

i wonder if i were to get the Maxxim Remembers and just change out the barrel, lip, and center cap to look like some bbs knock offs as my daily set of wheels haha

oooOOOOOoooo i think i just found my new daily wheels haha
probably just go with 16x7.5 all around. 16x9 would be a bit too much for a daily in my area.

but wait offset is 20 daymn!

+20 isn't too bad for the 16x9.

**o2_designs** · 07-07-2009, 09:53 AM

Yeah it is...its gonna stick way out...
My 16x9's are only 35mm offset and they already stick a long way out of the fender...

And why would'nt 16x9 be good for daily use? My rear wheels actually have more tire on them for potholes...compared to the fronts...

+20 has the nearly the same inner clearance as my 7.5" wide +40 and sticks out an additional 40mm (1.5 inches). Yes it will stick out further, but it's also and inch and a half wider. Just saying .... it's not AS bad. Should be doable with camber.

**SVT2RS** · 07-07-2009, 03:29 PM

Widen the hearse?

**o2_designs** · 07-07-2009, 10:49 PM

No, widebody for 7inch wide wheels is stupid...lol

**LamboFoFo** · 07-07-2009, 11:46 PM

So with the "Euro Poke" How is the integrity of the Tire? Does it ride rough? There has to be some sort of Con? Not that i want a con I just wanna now all the aspects of it.

My car handles no different with stretched tires then it does with normal sized tire on a rim. Only difference is the stagger of the bigger wheel in the rear makes the rear end have more grip.
