Winter tyres for S-Max

[NDT]

Thinking of putting winter tyres on the S-Max.
Does anyone know what the correct offset would be for 16 or 17s on the S-Max?
Are all the standard fit wheels for S-Max / Galaxy / Mondeo the same offset?
and finally.. roughly how much are steels if bought new?

thanks for your help!

Hi, The offset for the S-Max is 52mm.

Any of the current Ford 5 bolt hole wheels will fit the S-Max, so anything from Galaxy, Mondeo and current Focus will fit. I currently have 17" snow tyres on the front of my S-Max.

If you are looking for steel rims the biggest Ford do are 16", these will fit on any S-Max, including those running 18" wheel, you will just need to adjust the 'profile' of the tyre.

I got my rubber from Mytyres.co.uk, they can also provide you tyres on steel rims, the rims are a lot cheaper than OEM Ford rims, though I can vouch for their quality.

thanks for the reply.
Like an idiot I've just ordered the tyres from Camskill - I didn't notice that MyTyres did steels as well.
Local Ford dealer isn't too pricey for steels though.

MondeoSpares on Ebay. I got 4 genuine 16" steels off them for less than £100 delivered. Arrived next day too. They were in better condition than the steels on my car.

Apologies for the exhumation but I wonder whether someone can answer this for me?

My wife has a 2012 S-Max Titanium X-Sport with 18" wheels wearing 235/45/R18.

I want to buy some winter wheels and tyres, and am thinking of going down to 17". I believe (it's hard to confirm via google!) that OE for S-Max in 17" is 225/50/R17

1. Can someone confirm this for me please?
2. Will they fit? (I'm thinking about disc sizes etc here...)
3. Can I swap to these without having to ask Ford to reset/recalibrate the speed sensor?

Thank you in advance!

Hi, there's a tyre section towards the back of the S-Max handbook which lists all the sizes. I checked ours and you're right about the 17" tyre size...it's 225/50/17. We run Toyo Snowproxes on ours (on 18" wheels).
