well as some of u know, I ran into a financial hole and couldnt afford $400 for tires anymore, so I ended up selling my 17s and for $230 got 4 brand new steelies and 4 205/60R15 Warriors (Michelin)... not bad IMO but I will always miss my 17s... I do like the fact that i DO NOT rub AT ALL!!! 17s would rub anytime I hit a bump. Also, these tires will last me more than 12k like my 215/40R17s did... well here are the new pics... enjoy [:(]

It's kinda got a Mad Max-esque look to it. Spray down the car in flat black and your good to go :)

Your wheel offset is causing the rubbing issues. Check the wheel section for minimal negative offset if you decide to go back to 17,s. I believe anything more than -45mm will not rub. Factory SVT's are -49

ya I knew why they were rubbing... cuz the 15s with 206/60s are taller than my 17s with 215/40s and they ride so much better too

Your car is now officially De-Pimped!

I'm in the same boat you are and it doesn't feel good at all! I had a set of Motegi's I had to sell cause of cash problems. It all comes back to you bro, just keep believing and it'll happen [thumb].

Still a hot Sedan though [:)]

where did you get the street appearence package wing? I think those wings look great on our cars but I didnt get a focus with the SAP. I thought about ordering a OEM one but everyone knows that shit is expensive.

really sucks about loosing your 17's but you still have a good lookin focus!
