I bought 4 Ford OEM 14" steel rims, from the dealer, to use for studded snow
tires on my 2002 Focus SE. It had 15" aluminum wheels with P195/60R15 tires
so by putting P185/65R14 tires on the 14" inch rims (the same combo used on
the base model that year), the same ride height was maintained for winter.
The car now has high mileage so it has been retired to lighter use by my
daughter who lives in an area where studs are banned and not needed anyway.
I loved this car and want to get the new Focus but, believe it or not, the
dealer cannot tell me if the rims will fit the 2006 - their computer lists
only a 15" and 16" OEM rim for the new model. I do know the 2006 comes with
P195/60R15 tires.
I have over $1000 invested in these rims/tires and would appreciate if
anyone knows if they would fit the new model as this would be a factor in my
shopping. Thanks!

as long as the rims came off another focus the rims will fit. even if they
didnt as long as they are ford oem they should fit. i did the same thing a
while back on a fiero i had in the late 80's and it worked out great.
