Nothing too special, just another ST with some Rota Grids.. Best I can get for the ever illusive 5x108 - especially being in Perth, Western Australia.

Happy with how they look and the fitment though. Much better than stock!

Read entire thread... Good work here sir!

Particularly telling is the shot coming down the corkscrew with left side fully loaded. At full compression, there is very minimal but complete clearance between outer fender and tire. I think the +48 offset is necessary for complete clearance when running a 255 or higher tire. As some other members stated they are successfully running +38 offsets on track, I think this is dependent on the fact that they are also running 235 tires. Just my 2 cents.

Tires are Toyo R888 255/35-18

100% agree, their stock tires stretch on the wider fitment allowing clearance. Gotta have that extra meat for grip. 255's are whats up, I think these specs are perfect! Nice job and car. Stock suspension is great for daily/track.

Tire size?
 
19x8.5 RS wheels with 20 mm spacers front/rear. 235/35r19 tires. I had the wheels on for a week before I got the spacers. Glad I did, these wheels need spacers. Looks much better now. Got the whole package from CJ pony parts, they are having a big sale right now on RS wheels.


Looks good. I'm read to order mine in gloss black. Glad I saw your pic with the 20mm spacers, I think I'll go with that as well.
 
Stock suspension, as I've only had it 6 weeks
19x8.5 +42 offset niche misano m117
225/35zr19 michelin pilot sport a/s 3+
Soon to be lowered

Also note the custom license plate mount in first pic

Hey everyone I need fitment help! I'm a noob to the Focus game I just got a 2016 st3 and I wanted cosmis MRII wheels but I heard it's too wide on a 18x9,9.5 +22 setup that they sell. I was considering 18.9,9.5 +35 setup?(giving that my fenders will be rolled and tires stretched) I was really hesitant because they don't come in 5x108 so I will need to redrill. Overall I'm afraid to commit because I will be at a loss if it's too wide . Any info or help ?? Thanks
 
From what im hearing and reading 35 offset on 9.5 would be extremely tight. You would minimally need to pull fenders and stretch tires. Are you lowered?

im in the market right now to get bc extreme lows around tax time I just been tryna find the right price. but yes I wanna lower it fairly low, I just been wanting to find the right fitment especially if I have to invest to redrill. ive had fitment problems with other cars ive owned but I could manage it, little fender rub here and there and I could change wheels with common sizes but nothing crazy. if I redrill I wanna make sure its correct this time, I don't wanna waste money then have to refit again. I been studying lots of wheel threads and forums to find owners who have the concave wheels and the deep dish wheels to find the fitmen im tryna go after, and thanks for the tip man im gonna do more research and make some more calculations before I go any further.
