Ford Focus wheel fitment — III
Overview
The third generation (C346) of the Ford Focus was launched simultaneously in North America and Europe in early 2011, with production starting late in 2010. This generation saw a return to a unified international model after previous North American versions diverged from European models. The car featured new engine options including a 2.0-litre direct injection inline-four engine. In April 2018, Ford unveiled the fourth-generation Focus (C519) for its 20th anniversary, available in sedan, hatchback, and estate body styles with an Active crossover-inspired trim level and Vignale luxury variant. The model emphasized advanced technology such as Sync 3 infotainment system and CoPilot360 driver assistance suite.
Ford Focus wheel fitment
Ford Focus wheel fitment for the Ford Focus (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 | 6.5J–9J | ET35–ET55 |
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.

History & notable variants
The fourth generation Focus was introduced to mark Ford's 20th anniversary of the model in April 2018, featuring a sportier exterior design and simplified interior. It included significant technological advancements like FordPass Connect and CoPilot360 safety features. In August 2018, plans for North American production were cancelled due to tariffs on Chinese imports. The Focus RS was discontinued by 2020 due to high development costs and stringent European emissions standards. A facelift was introduced in October 2021 for the European market.
