If you, as the car owner, made a decision on installing new wheel disks For the Ford Focus car, then you need to know one important parameter, without which this procedure is properly simply not to spend.
Decorating Ford Focus - This is the ratio of the number of bolts for mounting the disc to the diameter of the circle on which the bolts are located. As a rule, it is believed that 5/112 ratio is normal and safe. The first number indicates the number of fastening bolts, and the second, respectively, the diameter of the country itself, on which they are placed. The second parameter (PCD) is standardized for each car and meets international recommendations (see Figure).
Before viewing which breakdown is used on cars focus different generations, We propose to refresh your knowledge in the characteristics and size of the wheels. Surely you know that the disc is characterized by such parameters as:
1. Width rim (B) This is a parameter that characterizes the diameter of the annular circle, which describes the inner part of the rim. In fact, its presence provides a support for the tire. As a rule, for self-measurement of this indicator, a simple procedure is used, you just need to take 20% of the distance from your tread width and get the rim width.
2. Departure (ET) - a parameter that is equal to the distance from the middle of the rim landing width to the wheel adjacent to the car hub.
Ford Focus Sweet 1
The first generation of Ford Focus saw in the distance in 1998. The plant produced several modifications and packages, so the discs were different sizes. For all the time of production, there were disks such dimensions:
- 14 inches;
- 15 inches;
- 16 inches.
Based on these data, various tires are used and only certain wheels are suitable for them. Almost in any cases, the following rubber sizes are installed:
1. Radius 14 \u003d 185/65;
2. Radius 15 \u003d 195/60;
3. Radius 16 \u003d 205/50.
Ford Focus 1. It has the following dimensions of discs and breakdown:
Width Disc – 5.5, 6.0, 6.5, 7.0
Departure It is 38-52.

As well as the second generation, he won universal recognition and popularity in our country. Leaving the plant this car Equipped with 16 inches wheeled discs.

Detailed characteristics of parameters and sizes of tires and disks for Ford Focus 1
Disks: on departure (ET) - it is believed that the allowable deviation from original size +/- 5mm. By the width of the disk - it is believed that the optimally width of the disk should be less than 20-30% rubber width. Usually everyone is scored for it, as the discs are now wide, and the handling of the idea should improve if the disc is sewn. Therefore, the rubber 185 width is easily dressed on a 6J, 195 per 6.5j, and 205 - by 7j, nothing terrible happens.
Rubber: Rugs in the standard walked rubber with a higher profile than all other, respectively, you can use any rubber from the permitted, depending on your own preferences and settings of the control unit. Original parameters from Ford:
Number of fastening bolts - 4, diameter of fixture centers - 108
Designated all this as 4x108
The diameter of the roofing hole under the hub is 63.3 mm without options, is indicated as D63.3.
A hole with a smaller diameter is simply not torn to the hub, with a larger hole diameter, you can use transition rings.
14-inch discs
Departure - ET43,5 (43.5 mm)
Disc width - 5.5J (5.5 inches)
Rubber 185/65 R14, 185/70 R14 (RusFox)
15-inch discs
Departure ET52.5 (52,5mm)
Disc Width 6j (6 inches)
Rubber 195/55 R15, 195/60 R15 (RusFus)
16-inch discs
Departure ET52.5; ET50 (52,5 mm; 50 mm)
Disc Width 6.5J (6.5 inches)
Rubber 205/50 R16.
17-inch discs
Departure ET49 (49 mm)
Disc width 7j (7 inches)
Rubber 215/40 R17
Will or not cling? There will be no, if not extreme and stacked in reasonable limits, i.e. Do not put rubber with an unreal high profile (for example 205/60 R16) or too wide (more than 215). 195/65 R15 will stand normally, but the wheels with them are even higher (by 3mm), and the handling will become completely amorphous.
The most popular sizes of rubber, they will definitely stand without problems:
185/65 R14
185/70 R14.
195/50 R15 (for extremals)
195/55 R15
195/60 R15
205/50 R16
Es for stamping and cast different. The smaller the departure value, the wider of the river.
Nuts / secrets for cast and stamped discs - different !!! They are characterized by a taper (an angle of the cone of the working surface adjacent to the disk), in nuts for stamping an angle less.
So baptine nuts from stamping alloy wheels It is impossible - because There will be no contactful surface of the nut-disk (or a very small contact area), it can be fixed with nuts from casting with casting, but it should be borne in mind that with each tightening nut and a hole in the disk will be mutually "correcting" cone to each other (better not necessary).
To check, will cling a new disc for the caliper or not, it is necessary:
insert into drive valve
fasten the disk to the hub
scroll disk
If the disk is spinning - everything is in order
IMPORTANT! Do not forget that when new brake discs and pads are installed, then the calipers are put forward towards the disk and can begin for it.
So ideally, it is necessary to try on new brake discs and pads.
