Default Stud Pattern

Hi, i was wondering what the stud pattern for the Focus is... i know its a four stud, but what is the distance between the studs? Im after some stockies for my TC Cortina, and i heard somwhere that Focus rims fit.

Has anyone had to buy stockies for their Focus? I know Saab rims fit, but the guy i spoke to wanted $120 per wheel! without tires!

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Focus stud pattern is 4X108 (4.25"), and yes they're the same stud pattern as your TC. The Focus rims will fit the T cortina's, but won't fit the Escorts even though the stud pattern is the same as the offset is no good for the Escorts, they will touch the front struts. Might have to be very careful if the TC is real low.

Your mums Laser (323) is 4X100. The two most common four stud patterns are 4X100 and 4X110.

There's 14" steel, 15" steel, 15" alloy and 16" alloy rims for the Focus. Have no idea on price, but if you thought $120 is steep per wheel, I'd be prepared for a bigger shock when you go to see your Ford spares.

Yeah i am man...$200 for the all 4 wheels (only 4000km on them) with un-scatched stock CL hub caps. I will even give you the stock springs for a extra $50!

I was going to sell them on ebay for $300 but would be willing to give you a forums discount!

Throw us a PM if you want them or if you want to neg even!

Yep, I know the stud pattern is 4X108, but need to know the offset? There should be a stamped number (maybe 40) at the back of the rim. Cheers.

Thanks professorsabre.

klaw, yes they will fit your TC Cortina. Oh, forgot that there's a 17" alloy rim aswell off the ST170. Also, check with Ford, or a mag wheel seller if you want 15" steelies. Might be able to get them cheaper than $200. I was saying be prepaired for a shock if you want the alloys.

Yer ok, ill pop around this morning. Then i can get some whitewalls for it!

Whichever turns out cheaper. How much will they weigh? I assumed about 20Kg for all 4 or is that underestimating a bit?

Umm... ok i just went and weighed 1 of them... 16 kg each man! That is with air in it though i dont think that will make any sort of difference! so you are looking at around 70kg all up inclusive of packaging!

Only costly way would be pick up man i reckon... Unless you know someone in the transport industry!

They are still up for offer so when you figure out what you are going to do man just give me a bell!
Who knows you have feel like a trip up to sydney for a couple of days!!!
