Hi all,

I bought a new Focus a few months ago (1lt EcoBoost), and now it's getting to that time of year again when the temps drop and the fluffy stuff tries to make an appearance.

So I'm thinking about winter tyres.

I've got 4 very good 195/65/15 winter tyres that are on BMW E36 steel wheels (plus the E36 > E39 adapter spacers, used them on an old R reg 535i), but I've no idea if 15" wheels will fit onto the Focus? (I know the BMW wheels won't fit obviously! I mean 15" Ford wheels)

Do they make them that have the right PCD and offset? Do they clear the calipers?

According to this site
http://www.wheelfitment.eu/car/Ford/Focus%20%28201...
there are plenty of compatible wheels out there, I just don't know if they'll clear the brake calipers, etc.

Anyone on here know? (I'll probably phone the dealer soon and ask them, but I suspect that a lot of people in here will know a lot more than my dealer smile )

Have a look in the handbook it will often list a number of differant size options under the tyre pressure information & there will often be a reference to winter tyre sizes to
