Stamped discs on Ford Focus 1. Fold Focus (Ford Focus) Different Generations
The competently selected kit and the size of the wheels on the energetic Ford Focus car will give him not only additional beauty and aesthetics, but also improve dynamic indicators. Each owner a passenger car Focus has the opportunity to purchase alloy wheels with identical diameter, rim and departure, as well as standard wheels installed in the factory assembly.
You can also make a small restyling and install wider wheels with the smallest departure. As a result, Ford will look original and will slightly increase its dynamic indicators and stability on the track.
Almost always exists alternative option Replace the standard wheel and disk by analogues with large size rim. Ideally after that while driving on vehicle There should be no problems.
More massive wheels as a result will "require" use wide tires, and they contribute not only to the improvement of dynamic indicators, but also a high level of braking, respectively, the driver may feel calm even with aggressive ride.
The car owner must independently make a choice in favor of certain wheel sizes. Immediately before choosing and installing, it is necessary to carefully examine the basic parameters recommended by the car manufacturer:
- rim;
- breaking;
- departure;
- wheel size.
The specified parameters must correspond to the characteristics of the vehicle. If certain problems arose when installing the wheels with non-standard parameters, then for help it is better to turn to experienced specialists.
Detailed characteristics of wheel sizes, tires and disks on model Focus 1 and 2
According to the overall departure indicators ET for wheel disks Ford, the maximum deviation from the standard sizes should not exceed +/- 5 mm.
The disk size implies the optimal width of the product with respect to the tire no more than 20-30%. As a rule, tuning lovers and ordinary drivers do not always pay special attention to these indicators.
Many manufacturers began to produce various non-standard autody regardless of the width and height parameters. In addition, with a more wide disk, manageability indicators will improve.
But only in the case when tires and wheels with identical dimensions are used. For example, tires with a width of 185 mm are perfectly combined with discs 205 7J, 205 6J, 195 6J.
For Russian configurations, Ford focus in standard form was established by factory tires with a high profile, in contrast to identical models manufactured in foreign industries.
This allows you to install any bus, according to the specified instruction from the manufacturer, depending on the wishes and block control settings.
Factory characteristics from Ford:
- the total number of bolts for installing the wheel - 4;
- the central diameter of the fasteners -108 mm; in the designation 4/108;
- the dimensions of the diametrical holes of the wheel of the wheel under the hub - 63.3 mm, is indicated by D63.3.
If you use holes with smaller diameters, the wheel cannot be installed on the hub. For diametrical holes with large indicators, special adapter rings must be applied.
Standard disk size
As for the question of whether there will be a chain of the fever, it is necessary to follow the optimal recommended wheels of the wheels and install tires with a lower profile.
For example, you can use tires 205/50 / R16, but they do not guarantee a uniform calm ride - problems may arise at the time of the tunnel hook.
It is best to use tires 195/65 / R15, because the wheels with them become a little higher, due to which the performance indicators are improved.
The most popular and sought-after tire sizes on Ford Focus 1 and 2:
- 195/65 / R15;
- 185/70 / R14;
- 205/50 / R16;
- 185/65 / R14;
- 195/55 / \u200b\u200bR15.
If we are talking about ET indicators, then for cast and stamped discs, they are completely different. A smaller departure value indicates a wider range.
We also note that the secrets and nuts for the factory automobiles have a difference. The main thing is in the design and form. Cone corners of the working areas are adjacent to the working disk surface. Nuts on stamping have a smaller angle and, accordingly, not so much adjacent to the product.
Therefore, experienced professionals do not recommend using nuts for stamping as fasteners on casting. Too small contact area with a working surface, which means that bad mount for the car. It is necessary to take into account the fact that each tightening of the nut will gradually correct contact with the working surface.
To check the hitch of a new disk for the calipers, you must perform the following procedures:
- install it on the valve;
- perform screwing nuts to the hub;
- fully spin the disk.
Fold Focus 2 Wheel Drive 2, 3
Example: Wheel breakdown on Ford Focus cars with 5/108 parameters. Many lovers of auto may have problems with the designation of these numbers. Therefore, we specify them in more detail their decoding:
- number 5 denotes the total amount of diametrical holes for the fasteners of the wheel;
- the number 108 indicates the size of the diameter of these holes.
Disc departure on models Focus 2 and 3:
- standard size is 52.5 mm;
- departure Wheel on Reystayling is 50 mm.
For beginners, departure is a rather complicated and difficult concept. If we talk simple words, then disk departure Indicates a common distance from the middle of the product to the main zone of fastening elements located on the hub.
- R15 / 195/65;
- R16 / 205/55.
The letter R denotes the radius of the wheel.
Wheel breakdown on focus 3
The total parameters of the 3 generation of focus are practically no different from similar models 5/108.
Wheels on 3 Release Ford Focus
The third release of the famous focus model was implemented in 2010. The car was presented at the famous Salon in Detroit. The vehicle was presented in several bodies: sedan, wagon and hatchback.
It is known that Ford Focus Until now, is one of the most sought-after cars around the world. Annually selling, and lovers of this car are satisfied with its simplicity in operation and stylish design.
The American manufacturer has achieved such results due to the high ratio between quality and cost.
In addition, 3 car release was performed in kinetic design. Many admired the originality and uniqueness of this car. On the track, the focus demonstrates excellent characteristics and indicators of control, starting acceleration and stable ride.
Good management on the vehicle achieves due to improved balance between discs and tires. Therefore, it is necessary to consider the main type of rubber and disk parameters for optimal ride on focus 3.
Optimal wheel sizes
Each car released by the American Ford Line has certain size sizes and tires recommended by manufacturers. Consider the main parameters required for good handover by car:
- Disk dimensions: 16, 17 and 18 inches;
- Tires 235/40 / R18, 215 / 50R17, 205 / 55R16;
- Disk width ET50, ET55.
Absolutely for all wheel sizes 5/108 fastening elements with a central diametrical hole of 63.3 mm and a heap of 14.5 mm are used.
When recorded the main indicators, everyone can decide on the choice of wheels on the Focus Model 3. As optimal option Recommends the use of original factory products or similar products from eminent brands.
Branded models are more durable and reliable because they are specifically produced for a particular focus model. This is a very important factor, even in that situation when the car runs on a deep pit or crack.
As a result, the wheelheaper is not deformed, and the driver continues to control the control of the vehicle.
The discs are selected according to the width of the tire, they must be identical. In most cases, the American company produces original factory stamps on focus 3. Such discs are perfectly operated in sophisticated conditions And have a small cost.
In addition, acquiring such discs, you can not take care of the amount, because they are automatically suitable for standard focus wheels.
In compliance with the competent recommendations, the car's amateur does not have problems with the choice of wheel size on the Ford Focus car. If you wish, you can use non-standard models, but it will be necessary to change the technical components of the vehicle slightly.
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.
Therefore, nuts from stamping to mount alloy wheels cannot be attached - 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.
