Bola B1 Alloys - Focus ST225

[Waynester]

I have some Bola B1s for my 2007 Focus ST, but I'm not sure if they will fit without rubbing? They are 9.5x18 et42.

I was told they would fit, but I'm not so sure on the front. I also have Cobra 20/40 lowering springs fitted.

I have seen pics of similar with stretched 225 tyres, but I'm not really keen on that, would 235s fit?

Thoughts?

I run 8.5 ET38 of the same wheels and when i'm 4 up it rubs over bumps. I can only imagine yours would be worse. It's absolutely fine single manned or with a single passenger however!

I decided to exchange for the 8.5J as I was worried about the 9J rubbing.. I might just regret going for white though

Nice car!

Very nice mate.

Thanks.. as I feared, keeping them wheels clean is proving difficult with the current slimy roads..so I bought a Karcher pressure washer to make the task a little easier.

Yep, it's a must, used the karcher on the ST today.

looks good, i've got the 8.5j ET38 (i think) on my st225. Only wheels I've ever looked at on a focus and actually wanted! Perfect fitment

Thanks, I think they look better in the flesh.. Still no regrets with white, I like the Rally motorsport look, but with the slimy roads right now..keeping them clean is..a..pain.
