Need Help! - brzy - 02-18-2010
Hi,
I was wondering if I were to purchase 17x17.5 rims would I have to change my suspension system to fit the tires or could I just mount them and ride off?
Please let me know ASAP!
I have a ford focus 2008 SE Sedan

17 X 17.5 will not fit. :P
You shouldnt have any issues with a 7.5 rim.

depends on the offset, going to need like a -42mm-45mm offset. i have 17x7.5 with a -40mm offset and i rubbed when lowered. if you are stock ride height should be fine it you dont hit big bumps with a full car load
