Hi All-

I have 205 - 60 / 15 Michelin Snow Tires but no wheels yet for them. I was looking at buying some 15 x 6" Focus Alloys to mount them on.

I'm pretty sure that set-up will work (for my 99 SVT), but I wanted to see if anybody knew of any issues with this combo?

Brake Clearance?
Offset?
Anything else?

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Your combo will work fine for winter.

yeah, the Foci has same offsets as well as cougars, i just use 15" steelies, they're cheap and easy to find, well for me at least, 15" steelie = $20 each.

EDIT: You HAVE to have AT LEAST 15" wheels for the SVT otherwise the calipers won't clear.
