Wrong offset. Wrong everything.
Try a search for wheels.

You could get them on but you would probably have to cut your struts and springs out in order for them to fit. They are 9" wide.

i'm not talking about actual wheels off a cobra. just cobra style rims. i've seen contours with them before.

Yes, Sanctum is selling some SVT-like 17"s... I'm gonna wait for the SVT Focus Rims because guess where they got their idea from for their 17"s... A Cobra R.
Same offset and holes as the Contour... I'm gonna wait for those... Figuring most SVT Foci owners will probably get rid of them after getting some aftermarket ones...

Thought about that as well, until I saw my Enkeis...  Anyway, might want to check the offset on those, as most Focus owners use a lower offset. I might be wrong though. John

I thought that too... but for some reason, I saw a Focus site that stated a 42mm offset. I could be wrong, but I think that is what ours are...
