Well I may be able to buy some rims/tires off of someone I know but I have a slight problem with sizing.
The rims are 17" Riax Monza rims. They are 225/45/17, is 225 too wide for the focus? I am planning on lowering it at some point in the future and will probably stick with these rims for a while.
Does anyone forsee any problems at all?

You need to find out the width and offset of the rims in order to know for sure ... a 7" rim with a moderate offset would be better than an 8" rim with a high offset.
IMO a wide tire and a wide rim with a high positive offset will likely spell trouble on a lowered car.

Ok so the size of the rims are 7" and the offset is 42mm. The website that I found has a bit more info in the case that its needed found
Here
Thanks for the reply, hope these fit alright
since you're not lowered yet you might be ok.....
I'm lowered (2"front, 2.2" rear) and running 225/45/16 and i'm having some slight rubbing in the back when i hit slight bumps
And you will be wider and taller, where i am just wider.

Alright well the biggest drop I plan on doing is a 2" drop overall. I may hold off on buying the rims, get the suspension first and try out these rims/tires.
I think that's the safest choice, agreed?
I would agree with that. Drop your ride first, then buy shoes to fit. Plus a car with wheels that isn't lowered look a little silly.
