Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications Wheels & Tires wheel dimensions

i was wondering if someone could tell me the lug spacing and the proper offset to get for the svt. and what is the best width of 17" wheel to go with?
thanks.

4x108. I have 17 x 7.5 with 45mm offset. Fit perfect. You can use 215-45-17 or 225-45-17 tires.

are the contour wheels the same size as the focus svt's? becasue most 17's i have seen have a 42mm offset, and that is the same as the focus's. i was just curious about the stud spacing.

The 17" Focus rims will fit the SVT. Both are 4x108. The lower the nuber on offset, the more the will will stick out toward the fenders.
Stock SVT offset is 49.5 on a 6.5 inch rim. The wider the rim, the lower offset number you will need. Most 17x7 rims run an offset of 40-45mm.
I think the Focus SVT rims are 17x17 with a 42mm offset. They fit nicely.

17x17 eh... I bet they stick out a little...

17x7 is of course what he meant...
