will a late focus 5 stud hub not fit into the bearings and knuckle of a mk1? we are talking about ford, they may have left everything but the hub pcd alone. I don't really follow the logic of them going to 5 stud as its really a 6 of one half dozen of the other argument. edit - *face palm* the scimitar is 4 stud as well. thats what you get for spending 12 hours infront of a computer designing a gear box. It would surprise me if not to be honest. Something I'll be looking into anyway.

well off the top of my head on mondeos the shafts are the same, as are the calipers, you can use mk3 300mm brakes (5 stud) on a mk1 by using st170 4 stud discs.
makes me thing they just re drilled the hubs when they went to 5 stud.
are calipers interchangeable on the focus mk1 and 2?
its amazing the amount of bits that can be swapped directly on fords, even when the parts guy says no.
iv got rs2000 rear discs, attached to puma hubs, with street ka hub spacers bolted to a ka/mk4 fiesta beam.

thats very clever, any idea what the pcd is? I've seen them on...... Focus = 5x108 Astra = 5x110 I havn't seen them on anything else yet, but it's worth keeping an eye out. They would look awesome banded!

03 will be a mk1 focus shape right? Mk1 focus are 4x108 so 4 stud Saab, Peugoet and Citroen will fit. The Pug/Cit ones will be a much lower offset giving a nice stance (et25 iirc), but as for width I don't know I think you'll struggle to find anything over a 6j rim. or any other 4 stud Ford, some mk1/2 Mondeos came with 6x15" steels, other than that 14" steels off an Escort, Sierra etc will bolt on but watch the offset as Focus' are about et45 and most earlier fwd Ford stuff is around et38. Either that or some Weller Wheels, I had a set of 8x15" Wellers in 4x108. Just make sure the offset isnt too crazy the ones I had were et-38! Edit: due to me not being able to spell or use gramma Some 4 stud Saab are 114.3? Bugeye Scorpio's are 4x108 as well & often have 15 inch steels that are pretty beefy - A lot of mundanos seem to only have a steel 15 as a spare if they had a factory alloy, the povo spec ones seem to ride on 14 inch steels usually!? Certain Volvos are 4x108, I had a set of Volvo allys on my old Saph. Best bet IMO would be 15's off a Pug 406 - tried some of them on a Bugeye Scorpio recently with 205/60 rubber - think they are 6.5J.

They come on normal Focus' with 5 spoke hubcaps that make them look like alloys. This is what they look like with the covers on them....... Thank you.

Your opinion is invalid, I've seen your wife.

Some 4 stud Saab are 114.3? iirc Saab 99 are 4x114.3, but 900 and 9000 are 4x108 or 5x110.
