Hello,

I managed to get my hands on 4 3M5Z1007AB wheels. These are off a focus (2002 to 2011)

Make/Model/Year:
Ford Focus 2002-2011

Product Specifications:
Product ID: ALY3507AHH
Product: Wheel/Rim (Single)
Material: Aluminum
Style: 15 Spoke
Finish: Multiple Finish Options
Size: 17x7
Lugs: 4
Bolt Pattern: 108mm
Offset: 49mm
Indents: 3M5V1007AB
OE Part Number: 3M5Z1007AB

Google AI tells me the stock rubber was a 215/45r17

If i switch that to a 215/40r17, will this work on my 2017 fiests st 5 door?

Im a bit confused on how this all calculates.

Or would these accept the fiesta factory 205/40r17 rubber?

These wheels are the same size as the factory ST wheels (17x7), so you can stick to the factory 205/40r17s without issue. The bolt circle is the same and the offset is very close, so no issue there. You my want to check the wheel hub bore, as the wheels need to be hub centric. The ST hubs are 63.4mm, so if these wheels have a hub bore <63.4mm they will not fit on, and if the hub bore is >63.4mm, you will need adapter rings. Given the bolt circle is the same and these wheels are from a Focus, its likely the bore is the same, but worth a check.

Huh centric rings are cheap even if the bore was different🤷🏼‍♂️ I would be more concerned with the 49 offset that's going to put the wheel closer to the body and you might get rubbing on rubber bigger than 205/40. Our factory wheels have a 47.5 offset...

You don't need hub centric rings anyway. I got them for my snow tire wheels but the tire store has lost two of them over the years. The wheels can be centered just fine using the tapered lugs.

Even with the lesser offset (greater numerically) bringing the whole wheel assembly closer to the suspension, you might be able to get away with 215/40-17s, as I believe many on here have done just that on those Focus 'EAP' wheels.
