Wheel fitment/adapter question (Focus RS forged wheels?)

[lunarhalo]

Hi all, potentially stupid question incoming but my brain is shutting down when I try to figure out wheel stuff.

Will hopefully be picking up a Type S here in the next week or so. I’m in Northern VA and have done the summer/winter tire setup dance before, and wondering if I want to do it again (or even can).

Option 1: After reading recommendations here, I may just go with the DWS06+ and not have to deal with swapping tires out, especially with how manic our weather can be.

Option 2 (maybe): I still have my old 19” forged wheels leftover from my Focus RS I previously owned. Bolt pattern is 5x108, 19x8, and I believe they’re a 50mm offset. Would it be possible to repurpose these wheels with spacers/adapters/hub centering ring? I am not entirely sure what I’d need here, if this would even work or if it’d even be advisable. I know this is not *ideal* for winter tires, but it’s more about the cold and less about any snow.

Appreciate any insights anyone may have, and thanks for entertaining what may be a dumb question.

Can't use those wheels, unfortunately. Sell the wheels and your DWS06+ are discounted, perhaps

I think the Type S pattern is 5X120. I've never had an all season tire that I would find acceptable as a summer performance tire. But I've never tried that Continental tire, and I've read positive reviews.

Thank you for confirming, appreciate it!

And yeah @elh0102 I don’t love the idea of A/S but reading through threads and reviews here and on yt makes them seem pretty close to best in class as far as A/S is concerned. Realistically I’ll never be pushing it that hard on the street anyhow, which is how I’m trying to approach just going for convenience rather than 10/10 performance. Unfortunately my timing is likely to just miss all the Black Friday deals…
