Check the backspacing on both wheels...worst case is the
focus wheels will hang more inboard

Maybe I am to simple minded, but if he is your friend just take one and try it on front and rear.

I would but he is 3hr drive away in Edmonton. wont be in my area for a couple of month's . But he has 10 holes on his 2010 focus so i thought focus rims would fit on my 88 bird . And if they do fit it would give alot more rim choices for people on here with 4 bolt rims.

I've seen '99+ Cougar wheels (FWD) on a Fox Cougar before. They looked too "sucked in" to be aesthetically pleasing. I'd avoid it if I were you.

Tried it before......The lug pattern is correct.....Offset is wrong tho......Inside part of the rim will rub shock and you wont be able to cover the center.....Bearing dust cap will poke out to far.
