Question Quick question from a noobie

First off, forgive me if I posted this in the wrong section, feel free to move it if need be.

Second, Hi I'm a noobie.

Third, I have a 1994 Geo PriZZZm. Hope I don't get yelled at for having a Geo, but it's the same car, so deal with it. Besides, it was my first car, and it was free too!

My concern is this: I own a 2002 SVT Focus in addition to my Geo, and I have summer wheels and winter wheels for the Focus. The winter wheels are the stock SVT wheels, and in summer they get swapped for a set of 15 spoke 17 inch white wheels.
Recently, I've been having nasty dirty thoughts. If I take the wheels off the Focus in the summer, what good do they do sitting in my basement? why not throw them on the Geo just for the hell of it?
The main question is...Would they fit? And with the tires I have on the Geo now?

Stock size is, what, 15 inches? The SVT wheels are 17 inchers. SVT offset is 49 mm, and google wasn't cooperating, so I couldn't find much info for the offset on the Geo.

Here's a pic of the wheels on the Focus



And one of the Geo





Yes, lengthy post, but I hope to get some help! This looks like a nice community, so thanks in advance!

Well, for one I'd like to get it done all at the same time. I work at a car dealer and when I ask one of the mechanics to swap the wheels on the Focus, I can bring the Geo down at the same time and do it all right then and there. I just wanna try and save some hassle and some time if I can.

the prizm bolt pattern is 4x100 and the stock size is 14". the 17 in rims will fit as long as the bolt pattern is 4x100 for those rims you have for the focus and the tires arent big. they are alittle tight in there cause i had 17s on my old 94 prizm but they will fit you might rub on the splash gard in the front when you turn but thats about it.

the stock tires from the focus will probably be too big for the Prizm...it's likely it'll rub.

I was hoping to get the tires that are on the Geo now onto the wheels from the Focus. The tires on the Geo certainly aren't low profile, so would that create a rubbing problem?

EDIT: The bolt pattern on the Focus is 4x108, so that kinda screws things up, eh?

well with 16x7 with a 42 offset with 205/45's on them they BARELY clear the spring mount on the rears. On the front they rub because of my current allignment situation. I can turn one way more than I can the other HAHAHA
