Ford Focus wheel fitment — II
Overview
The second generation of the Ford Focus was launched at the Paris Motor Show on September 25, 2004. It was available as a three and five-door hatchback and an estate in Europe, with a sedan version introduced mid-2005. This generation featured a larger body compared to its predecessor, offering increased interior and boot space. The car also included new technologies such as KeyFree system, solar-reflect windshield, adaptive front lighting, Bluetooth hands-free phones, and voice control for audio, telephone, and climate control systems. In North America, the second generation was restyled in 2007 but was not officially referred to as a separate generation by Ford.
Ford Focus wheel fitment
Start with the hub. The Ford Focus (II) spec table gives the bolt pattern and bore; the second table is the aftermarket window for Ford Focus wheel fitment.
| Bolt pattern (PCD) | 5x108 |
| Centre bore | 63.4 mm |
| Bolt / thread | M12x1.5 (nuts) |
| Wheel-bolt torque | 110 Nm |
| Seat type | tapered |

Aftermarket wheel sizes — read per position:
| Position | Width | Offset |
|---|---|---|
| Front | 6J–7.5J | ET35–ET53 |
| Rear (staggered) | 8.5J–9J | ET35–ET45 |
As a rule, each extra 1J of width wants roughly +8 to 10 ET to keep the wheel tucked. The exact offset and any spacer are confirmed by the fit-check.
UK popularity & demand
