We got in some new wheels for the Focus the other day, so I tried them on our shop car. They are Rota KB-R, 19x9.5" +42. These are Hyper Black color.
The car is on Pedders coilovers with nearly-stock alignment settings, so minimal front or rear camber.
Tires are 265/30R19 Kumho Ecsta PS91.
I love the way they look. An unusual thing about them is the weight -- at 21.15 pounds, they are a pound LIGHTER than the 18x9.5" version of the same wheel.
Without more camber, the tire fitment is a bit tight, especially in the back:
The front may clear without any more camber.
So if you want to run a slightly narrower tire, and/or camber the wheels in just a smidge, these will work nicely, and they look fantastic. If you want to run the 265 tire without extra camber, be prepared to work your fenders a little bit to get the tire clearance.
