Ford Focus wheel fitment — RS III
Overview
The fourth generation Ford Focus (C519) was introduced in April 2018 to celebrate the brand's 20th anniversary. Available with sedan, hatchback, and estate body styles, it features a sportier exterior design and a simplified interior layout. The model emphasizes technology with Sync 3 infotainment system, FordPass Connect, and CoPilot360 driver assistance suite. Production took place in Germany and China but was limited to certain markets due to strategic shifts towards electric vehicles and crossovers.
Ford Focus wheel fitment
Ford Focus wheel fitment for the Ford Focus RS (III) (1998–2025): the factory PCD, centre bore and bolt spec, then the aftermarket width and offset window we fit to.
| Bolt pattern (PCD) | 5x108 |
| Centre bore | 63.4 mm |
| Bolt / thread | M12x1.5 (nuts) |
| Seat type | tapered |
| Factory setup | square |
| TPMS | direct |
Aftermarket wheel sizes — read per position:
| Position | Width | Offset |
|---|---|---|
| Front | 7.5J–9J | ET35–ET50 |
As a rule, each extra 1J of width wants roughly +8–10 ET to keep the wheel tucked. The exact offset and any spacer are confirmed by the fit-check.
UK popularity & demand
Based on DfT VEH0124 vehicle-parc data (2025), there are approximately 886,255 Ford Focus on UK roads, placing it in the top 1% of car models by volume across our fitment database.
That makes Ford Focus wheel fitment a high-demand spec to keep in stock. It is one reason we track it here.
