LW wheels fit LV?

Hey guys, I busted the front right alloy wheel on my Focus, do LW Focus wheels fit the LV TDCI cars?

I'm after 5 x 16" steelies.

Thanks much.

Yup, got a set of LW Alloys on my car at the moment.

The LW went up ever so slightly in overall diameter over the LV, but something tiny like 1.5-2%.

Sweet, that will probably put the speedo right on then.

What size tyres they take? Still 205/55R16?

I might swing by Essendon Ford tomorrow and ask if they have any lying around.

I'm led to believe the LW wheels I have are factory and came shod with 215/55R16.

They made my Speedo spot on as well.

Alright well at least my LV focus tyres will fit no problems, then I'll change to 215/55R16 when I'm up for new ones.

I'll go with steel though, they are more Damo-proof.

MK1 and MK2 wheels the same?

As in offset / pattern? Then yes. As in design, not sure?

Also, when going from a worn 205/55/16 tyre to a new 215/55/16 tyre the car will feel a little bargy at first due to the height difference but after a few weeks you get used to it and it just becomes normal. Pumping the tyres on the hard side also siffens up the sidewalls somewhat and reduces the floaty effect.
