Yeah for 15" i don't think doing 205/45/15 is good at all...short side sidewall on 15inch will look odd esp. that my car is not lowered.

205/50/15 is the best bet but i was told that is a short wheel...stock 15 inch is supposed to be 195/60/15 which is taller.

I believe a 205/50R15 is going to be the same OD as the 195/60R15.
They'd have to keep the OD all the same with all the Focuses or else they would have to reflash each individual ECU when putting a different tire/rim on. Now I know that you looking at 15" here but there is maybe half a cm difference between a 205/50R15 and a 205/50R16.
So there shouldn't be much of a difference between the 2 15" Tires.
I was only saying before going with the smaller sidewall is because you get less roll then the taller one. Figured since your looking for track wheels you'd want some track worthy tires too.
This is for anyone that doesn't know what the numbers stand for. Not saying that any of you don't.

205 (mm across the tread)
50 (% of the tread)
R (radial)
15 (Circumference of the Bead and Rim Hieght)
