(upbeat music)
- All right, oh, what is up everybody welcome back.
It's been a minute.
I know I'm sorry, apologize.
But we're back and we have another episode
of What Wheels Fit for you guys today
and we're gonna be going over the Ford Focus ST.
But before we go ahead and get right into all of that,
don't forget to subscribe.
And once you figure out you know what wheels you need
for your Focus ST make sure you hit up fitmentindustries.com
for you know wheels, tires or suspension
coz we got it all.
First things first, let's take a look
at the goal recommended fitment range for these cars.
Shall we?
Diameter 17 to 20 inches.
Everyone recommend 20 inch
but width ranging from seven and a half to nine and a half
and offsets landing somewhere in between
the broad spectrum of plus 20 and plus 55.
And of course that lovely five by one only bolt pattern
that just seems to make all the Ford Focus owners happy.
That's a joke.
Now all of our other data just like that is gathered
from the Fitment Industries Gallery.
And now you may be thinking, that's a pretty large range
to choose from and you would be absolutely correct.
So let's go ahead deep dive in a little bit
and narrow it down to what certain fitments
we're gonna be looking at.
A good majority of the time, if not, most of the time,
we see Ford Focus ST owners running an 18 inch wheel.
We only see 17s really start to come into play
when people are looking for like a bigger tire setup
with a track oriented setup.
So with that being said, if you're looking
for a new set of wheels for your ST, that you tend to drive
every day and need something that looks good,
but won't cause any issues, like you don't have
to like roll fenders or remove fender liners
or anything like that listen up because this one's for you.
First simply have a 2015 Ford Focus with some niche targets
18 by eight plus 40 and some Goodyear Eagle F ones
two 4540 on the tire sitting on some BC racing coil overs.
So even on some coil overs this setup
still doesn't require any fender rolling
and does not rub at all.
So overall a solid daily set up,
if that's what you're looking for.
Next up we have a 2014 with some 1552 tarmac solid choice
for this car 18 by eight and a half plus 42
of the Firestone Firehawk Indy 500.
Longest name for a tire have ever heard
with a size of 235 40 and some lowering springs
and again, no fender rolling, no rubbing, nothing like that.
Just a good all around setup.
Moving into some more mildly aggressive setups
as far as width goes.
We have a few more examples stepping up
into the nine and a half wide territory
which is probably the widest set you'll normally see
on these cars is this 2014 and some NKN two O threes
18 by nine and a half plus 40 with a 245 40 tire setup
on some coil over suspension.
Now quick note on this one, is that the fenders are rolled
to get everything in the clear, but it looks
really really good and just a small price to pay
for some good looking wheels.
Going down in width but a little more aggressive
with the offset we have this 2014 on some
ESR SRO eight 18 by eight and a half plus 30
with a two 25 35 federal, 595 RSR on some airlift
performance air suspension.
So getting really low with this one,
thanks to that air suspension and everything tucks up
into the fenders both not only in the front
but in the rear as well.
Overall if you're looking for something not crazy aggressive
for your Focus ST you're going to find yourself
going with something like an 18 by eight and a half
up to an 18 by nine with an oscillating
between plus 40 and plus 35.
Brands like 1552 are great options
as well as Option Lab, ESR, Rotiform and Konigs
and you're gonna find that they're gonna be
your best friends in the wheel industry
for like your car here.
For those who have done that good old R Ez Brembo Brake swap
because I know some of you have,
you're gonna want to make sure as well that you pick up
something that offers a good amount of brake clearance.
Something like the SRO eight is a good example from ESR
that offers it as well some of the wheels from Konig.
Now if you're one of those guys
like our boy Dakota here and want to go all out
and have that nice fender to lift fitment or a good stance
these next examples are for you.
First up, the newest common
is decode this 2014 Ford Focus ST.
Now this was sitting on some VIP modular VLS 910s
with an 18 by nine and a half plus 30 setup wrapped
as a middle new engine's two 1544 the size
of those bad boys sitting on some
airlift performance air suspension.
Now this is a perfect fender to lift fitment on the arrow
and still looks good while driving,
which is a very important thing that a lot of us like to see
with cars on air.
Or this 2015 for example on some GMR GS ones
directional wheel the staggered setup at nine and a half
plus 10 in the front, which is pretty aggressive,
with an 18 by 10 plus 15 two 540 two 1540 tire
sitting again from air land performance air suspension.
And then to wrap it all up for today we're going to end
with this 2017 sitting on some BBS RS wheels
18 by nine and a half plus 12 and the front with a 19,
yes 19 by nine and a half plus 10 in the rear.
Two 1540 all around for the tire.
This thing looks crazy.
With the downsides face on the RS
and all the arrow all together,
this is looks absolutely killer,
but that's going to wrap it up for today.
Hopefully it's helped you guys out in your endeavors
to find a new set of wheels for your car.
