Thanks Rolf... very usefull. Confirms my thought that I really need spacers
or different offset on the wheels.

Yes, the 2+2 will be at Stoneleigh.
At your disposal to measure everything you want!
But only if the (14") wheels are ready from the paintshop and some tyres
fitted! Gonna be last minute...fingers crossed!
Tonight I measured just under 20mm drivers side between wheelrim and
trailingarm and about 15mm on the passengers side. Under load, this will be
even more centered.
This is measured with 6,5 J rims of 15" ET 38 fitted with 195-45-15 and 5mm
spacers, so low profile and therefore not really exceeding the rim. Spacers
not really needed, but fills the arches better.
(the Focus got new Dunlops last year (195-60-15), and indeed these were more
rim-protecting than the ones on before.)
The space between the shock and tyre is, curiously enough, the same as
mentioned above.
Remember it is only now the axle is put central; these measurements were way
off in the past!
It seems more quantums need this checked.
The saloon is not at my home, so sorry not to have the opportunaty to take
measurements.
As it runs wider wheels, presumably the axle is well positioned.
On the front it has more room to turn than on the 2+2, these wider wheels
rubbing the inner wing on full lock and also the scuttle full lock otherway
around. No problem on the saloon.
Will exchange numbers at Stoneleigh so you can have a look at the pics. (Or
pass your mobilenr to Michael Huges, he has my details and is near you.)
Any use all these details?
Grtz
Rolf
