Anyone tried the Ford Focus wheels on their fb?
This may have been discussed previously but I understand the 15"x6" Focus wheels have a 4.25" bolt pattern which equates to 107.95mm. It would be a really close fit but I think it could be pulled off. Any first hand experience?

the 4 bolt mustang had the same size.... I had it on my car... they just don't fit right. They will fit somewhat offset and will not be able to bolt on all the way. You will also feel a bit of vibration as you will not be able to get them perfectly centered.

Hmmmm....slotting the holes.......sounds like a bad idea. Unless you were a machinist, and able to put the rim on a boring mill, or maybe even a bridgeport, you wouldn't be able to hold the tolerances on the slots. If you made the slots to long and/or wide, the rim would be able to slide around. On the highway, if this were to happen, I can't even imagine the vibration you would get....probably enough to snap the lugs right off. I strongly recommend staying away from slotting the rims. I'm a machinist myself, and I know I wouldn't even think of it.

Sounds great. I'll pick up a set and go to them freehand with a die grinder!!!
I have heard of other people running the stang wheels with no issues so I didn't think the focus wheels would cause a problem. If I can find a cheap set I'll slap them on (without slotting the holes) and report the results.

Damn I guess thats bad news for me..
I have some wheels that appear to be 114.3 ovaled out to 110 (or at least something bigger than 110)
I haven't had any problems with vibration or anything though, and I've beat on them pretty damn hard before without breaking anything.
Oh well, they are pieces of crap anways
