Default Focus XR5 rims

Just bought a set of current focus XR5 rims(identical copies so the guy claims) on eBay really cheep, tried just the rims to see if they fit. There is only 10mm gap from suspension arm to the rim, is that a problem??? Any one out there have a XR5 that can tell me how much distance is between rim and suspension arm?? I have a current focusTDCI.

That's pretty normal, just make sure the tyres don't foul, and make sure the rims are stamped to the appropriate standard (I forget what it is) because if they're not, and the rim breaks during an accident, your insurance might be void. Link to the ebay page?
