Does anyone know if its possible to get a set of XR5 Wheels? a mate of mine has fallen in love with them and reckon they would suit is Puegot 306(7?) Question is: Know where to get a set of Replicas or second hand wheels? and will they fit onto a 03 Pug? Cheers Mick |

hey mate. you wont find any Second hand wheels. you can buy them brand new from Ford Parts but be prepared to pay a RIDICULOUS amount. and i mean EXTREMEMLY ridiculous.
you can shop around and maybee look at speedywheels, and those company's. or get a picture of the wheel and take it around to tyre and wheel places and ask if they can find something similar in the stud pattern you want.

You can import the rims from overseas for about $1800 without tyres if you really want them.

the peugeot is a 4x108pcd which is the same pcd as the older version focus. The Xr5 wheels wont fit since they are 5x108 pcd. i found a set of replicas on the UK ebay site but havnt enquired about how much postage will cost. They cost 355 pounds which equals to around $870 (without tyres)

I will be selling mine but the stud pattern is 108.5 x 5 and I don't think the pug will take them, sorry.
If it matters, they look like lambo knockoffs anyway, so it shouldn't be too hard to find aftermarket in that style. |

Those wheels he has must weigh about 50kgs each. Personally I have never been a fan of chrome wheels.. each to their own. I am hunting down a set of black 5 spoke deep dish rims with polished lip for my black XR5T. I've found some, but I am not really happy with them, still hunting. |

No luck with it getting to fit the Mazda 3 or vice-versa
Stud pattern is different. I recon though it would be easy to convert the Focus to Mazda3 stud pattern. The brake discs are the same except for the stud hole placement and they have the same calipers and pads! After converting it, you'll have a bigger choice, such as the RX8 rims. |

Focus LS has a stud pattern of 5x108 and unfortunately most cars are either 5x100, 5x114.3, 4x100, or 4x114.3.

Hello Everyone
Does anyone know if the XR5 factory (225/40R/18V) wheels be able to be fitted to the LS Zetec? The LS Zetec wheels are 205/50R/17W. If they can be fitted… 1. Will the larger 18-inch tyres scrub any part of the body/ underfender when you do a full turn? 2. I’m guessing the speedo accuracy will be off. The car should be running faster than the speedo? And by how much? 3. Any issues with insurance? Appreciate your thoughts and comments…. |

I'd be surprised if the outside diameter changed from the 17" to 18" wheels. The lower profile of the tyre makes up for the rim size increase.
Overall diameter of the wheel / tyre is 2 x the tyre height + wheel diameter so 2*(225*0.4)+(18*25.4) = 637.2mm 2*(205*0.5)+(17*25.4) = 636.8mm In other words, you'd probably have more variation in the speedo by wearing the tyres or changing the inflation, than in putting the XR5 rims on it. Insurance companies usually let you go 1" above factory, so you should be OK there too. MK |

the XR5T wheels WILL fit the LS Zetec.
There is a Dealer here in NSW that has Fitted a black Zetec with XR5 rims... lol they called it a focus XR. tinted rear lights and all lol. was hilarious., so yes they will fit and there will be no real difference. cause the XR5 is exactly the same body so no scrubbing. when iwent from 15 to 17" my speedo when from being off to being DEAD accurate.
