Focus 16" 5 stud rims

I am currently researching the possibility of fitting 2011? and later 16" Focus rims to my Citroen C4 Picasso. The stud patterns and offsets are identical; the Focus centres would need to be bored to 65.1mm and I have sourced retaining studs to suit the conversion.

I have also checked the relevant criteria for replacement rims in our (SA) jurisdiction.

The last remaining task is to check that the Focus rims don't foul the Citroen brake calipers - and then to source a suitable set of rims. As I need to fit 95V tyres, I'm not expecting to find a suitable rim and tyre combination.

My main issue at this stage is to check that the Focus 16" rim will clear the brake calipers.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated. (I live in Adelaide.)

A few people seem to have accessed my post, but there were no replies and I received no private communication from it.

In the end, I went ahead and purchased a set of 16 x 7'' rims from a 2013 Focus complete with almost new 205/60 R16 Michelin Primacy LC tyres. Although it appeared they would fit alright, such proved not to be the case when I was able to do a more thorough check.

I'm not sure about the protocol for advertorial posts on this Forum, but I now have the above for sale at a similar price to the tyres alone - in case anyone is looking for a good (extra) set of genuine 16" Focus rims and tyres.
