Default Focus 06 and volvo C30 alloys

Hi Folks,
I am new to the forum. In the last week i have bought two fords. BA fairmont Ghia for me and a Focus for the wife. All i can say is, Ford make cars that have a lot of thought put in, i am very happy.
My question is, my wife likes the Mestra alloys on the Volvo C30 and wants to put them on the Focus, does anyone know the stud pattern and offset of the Mestra alloys and will they fit?
Thanks
Richard

Hi Richard,

Good question (and welcome/congrats!!!)

Latest LS/LT/LV Focus has a 5x108 stud/offset, it appears Volvo is also 5x108 for it's alloys also, although don't purchase based on my beliefs until you're certain yourself!!

Here's some extensive Volve Rim information - http://forums.swedespeed.com/showthr...17-inch-Wheels...

Here's a GREAT thread for Focus wheel options should your Volvo searches not work out - http://www.fordforums.com.au/showthread.php?t=11258040

Hope it helps!

The stud pattern is most definitely the same, however the offset could be different on the C30. I know they are different on the XC models but I don't know about the rest.

I hope they're right. It'd be nice to have some more options for the focus.

Another question, what offsets work for the 06 Focus. I noticed a range with the blank rims
Thanks Again

Jackpot, check this out guys

I gunna take the plunge and buy the mestra alloys. In fact all C30 alloys should fit the focus perfectly
Bore size - 63.5mm spot-on
Offset - 52.5 spot-on
I assume pattern is 108mm
