Hey has anyone tried Tempo wheels on their Focus? The bolt pattern is the same (4x108). I believe they are available in 14 and 15 inch sizes. I am looking for a cheap set for winter, and there are a million of them at the local wrecker.

You can also use 1st gen Escort (1984-1990) wheels too, or Contour/Mystique wheels.

mustang wheels fit too, the 14" polycast wheels are the same as the tempo ones just a different mold in them. The 15" focus wheels have some issues fitting a tempo on the rear it hit one of the lower arms, but they can be made to fit, just can't remember what was done

not so fast with the mustang wheels. only the 1979 @ 1993 are 4x108
the offset of the 1979 @ 1993 mustang is +10 (the wheel are going to be a bit outside the fender, your wheels offset need to be between +42 and +52)
here a list of cars who have the 4x108 bolt pattern
Ford
focus 2000-2004, offset +52
Focus SVT, offset +46
Contour 1995-1999, offset +48
Escort / EXP 1986-1990, offset +36
Tempo, offset N/D
Mustang 1979-1993, offset +10
Mercury
Mystique 1995-1999, offset +48
Cougar 1999-2002, offset +47
Lynx 1986-1990, offset +36
Topaz, offset N/D
