Looking for some 16"ers for my SVT to mount snow tires to. If they come with snow tires all the better. Thanks!

You could check with ScottyK as he is trying to sell his car but has two sets of wheels, maybe he would part with the stock ST wheels with blizzaks.

I have a set of stock 16" Focus wheels in very good condition. One wheel cap has some chrome pulling off the edge, but this is very minor and hard to see on the wheel. Otherwise, the wheels are great. I'm pretty sure they are 16x6. They fit over svt brakes. Steve, here on the forum (FORDSVTPARTS) has them on his SVT with winter tires. Also, I live 25 minutes from Mankato and can easily meet with you. I'm looking for $150 for the set, and the tires on them are worn to the wear bars.

Kind of hard to tell by the pic, but the wheels are really clean. lmk

That sir is a KILLER deal!!

Firestone Winterforces run about $75.00-$90.00 each and you'll want them in a 205-50 16.

Will thise throw my speedo off at all, or is that the correct sidewall to keep it fairly accurate??

I'm running 205-50-16 all seasons and they cause the speedo to run just a little fast (5 mph or so) which is good since I tend to have a lead foot and this helps keep the speed down. :lol:

Snows will be a bit taller than an all season so they'll keep the speedo more accurate.

there's a set of new 205/60-16 blizzaks on craigslist for 500 bucks. For the price would it be worth it? Cause problems?

I'd look at these: Continental ExtremeContact DW . You will get many seasons out of them and they will do the job, no problem. Total cost at the Discount Tire in Mankato (it's in between the Menards and Home Depot) is $565. It looks like they have to order them in. The site says it takes usually 2-3 days to get. Worth a call. (507) 385-1322
