Winter wheels tires

Not performance related, but wheel and tire related. I want to get some winter wheels and tires, or just tires. Hoping to get lucky on this one. Locally for sale is a set of wheels and tires off of a 2012 Focus.
From the ad:
Michelin X-ICE 2 winter ice and snow tires on OZ alloy rims. The wheels and tires came off a 2012 Ford Focus.

Tire size 215/55R-16.
Size: -- Center Bore: 63.3 mm
-- Lug Size: M12 x 1.5
-- Wheel Fasteners: Lug nuts
-- Trim Production: [2011 .. 2016]
Rim
PCD
215/55R16 7Jx16 ET50 5x108

Would these fit/work on a Focus ST? If not what have tohers done for winter tires? Thanks in advance.

Car is 2016 Ford Fiest ST

Thanks, I am an idiot. I didn't realize the focus went to 5 lug! Should have looked closer.

Lug size is 4x108 which unfortunately is very rare. Good news is if you find one, the prices tend to be cheaper.

2009 Ford focus wheels.
Good Year Ultra grips 195-60 x 15 on 4 new 6x15 steel rims. Was on my 2009 Focus. These have less than 1K miles on them. Cars trans-axle went out in Spring, so I got rid of it and was left with these. I paid $600 for everything new.

Link to ad below. Do these look right?

Verify with seller that the lug size is 4x108. 195/60 might rub if your car is lowered or if you are planning to lower it.

I've had my winters on for a couple of weeks now. 195-60 x 15 (from previous car) brand new steel rims from Discount tires ($59/rim) My car is not lowered . no rub. The rims just barely fit over the brakes. I'm satisfied. I've only seen light snow so far.[twothumb]

Thanks BobMaxed. Its nice to hear first hand how they are working out. I have to find tires soon, we are getting 8-12 today and I haven't been able to get out of the driveway all week because we have 8 down already. Luckily I kept my old car for the time being,.

Thanks everyone. I was able to pick up the used set of snow tires for $350. They have less than 1000 miles on them. We are very happy with them. I would have never bought them without the information from this site. Too many things I wasn't sure about before your help.

Any 2000-2011 Focus wheel is 4x108, so it the following;
1995+ Contour, Mystique
1999+ Cougar
1981-1990 Ford Escort (US version, Europe stayed with 4 x 108 until 1998)
1979-1993 Ford Mustang (not that I would suggest using Mustang wheels on a Fiesta)
