I was browsing wheels online when I came across a picture of a WRX sti with 16 inch Braid Wheels. Further looking, on the Focus RS forum, they are able to use 17 inch wheels Team dynamic or Braid wheels on their car, which was deemed not possible not long ago.

I'm wondering if the Type R will be able to fit 17 inch wheels :D

Curious, why would you want to put 17 in wheels on the type R??

Not sure if a 17 will fit the type r my 18s already come within a 1/8" away from my brembos to my wheel weights. It's pretty tight as is but I'm guessing with a offset positive enough to cram the brembos closer to the spoke area with a spoke design and a wheel barrel that will allow caliper clearance one could possibly fit them. If you do plan to try and fit 17s let us know how it goes. It would be interesting if one manages to do so. Like I said my 18s wheel barrels are pretty tight up against my calipers. A little too close for comfort tbh.
