I am not sure but I can't see why not - you will find that because of the wider tyres you will not be able to turn as tightly as your car currently does and if you try well the wheels will rub - hope that helps

Turning circle for a normal FOcus is 10.7m, XR5's are 11.7 due to the wider wheels. They'll defintely rub

I think the XR5's have steering rack limiters.

Jess had XR5 wheels on her zetec hatch, they were fine. The offset allows them to fit.

I'd imagine the sedan and hatch in the normal models front steering lock would be identical?

Now that i think of it, I reckon that the XR5's different setup is the main cause of the reduced turning circle, not the wheel size. In the UK, the Focus Titanium gets the rims of the MA XR5 Mondeo.

Aren't the XR6/8 18" rims the same style? It would be easier to fit those

Falcon and Focus have a different stud pattern and are not interchangeable.

XR5 wheels will fit a sedan just fine.
