i hate to say it, but i highly doubt any of those shops have any exp with mounting a stretch fit tires let alone any exp with offsetting rims on a focus and stretch fitting to fit the focus fenders.
before you pay i would highly suggest you get it in writing that if it doesn't work you don't have to pay for the rims or tires as i can see nothing good to come from this...
also, to get a propper stretch you want to go +.5" over the "recommended" width of the tire.
also, if you are going to stretch: Toyo T1-S, Toyo T1-R, Dunlop 8000, 9000, FM901s are all great tires that work extremely well with stretch. if the shop tries to get you into something like a Nexxan or similar junk tire telling you it will stretch, walk away from the shop. cheap tires crease and deform the sidewalls when stretched and in time they collapse.
