    The wheel offset for the Ford Focus is 52.5

    This is an example of the Focus' optional 18 inch wheels...

    7.5 x 18" offset 52.5 for tyres 225/40 R18
    * Steering Rack Limiter Required
    PCD: 5x108

    wheel offset


    I believe aftermarket wheels with a +52.5 offset is not common here, some poeple use +45 instead (it would push the wheels slightly outwards).
    You can also double check with the guys at Ford Club Philippines, some of them have already upgraded their wheels and tires.

    There should be no real issue if you stay close to the specs of Ford.
    I've seen a couple of Focus models here with original 18 inch Ford wheels form Europe, but the whole wheel+tire package costs around P100K+.

    Here's a Ford Focus TDCi Sport with original 18 inch euro Ford wheels displayed by Ford at the 5th Manila International Auto Show (2009)


    In Europe Ford recommends a "Steering rack limiter" to avoid any potential rubbing when doing a full turn.
    I'm not so sure, but this can probably also be ordered through Ford since you can order 18 inch Ford wheels from some Ford dealerships.
