Thanks Justin,

I bet you're Dutch?

Your note was very helpful. I called Tirerack and their engineering staff will do some research. He said my off set was 38mm 4X108

I did some cross referencing and a 2005 Focus ZX3 16" may fit? I may have to ream out the wheel bearing cup? When Tirerack updates me on what will fit with or without modifications I'll let you know. I also contacted Rota and I'm waiting on a follow up. I have a 1990 Miata with very light 11lbs Rota 15" wheels, I live in Tahoe and the roads have frost heaves all over and my wheels haven't bent yet. I was fly fishing in Montana and came around a bend doing 60mph in the Saab and hit a rock slide and wasted two rims. I went to Charles Schwab with 2 bent rims two flat tires drove on the rims for 10 miles, pounded them a bit straighter installed new tires, drove home 600 miles, VERY VERY bumpy ride back and the darn fish weren't biting but the old performance Saab with 220,000 miles is still a road rocket and ran perfect 80 miles on dirt roads in the deep wilderness. I love my old Saab :-))

Thanks
