Yes they will.
The XR5 Turbo came with 18 inch wheels from factory.

Do the 18s made ride uncomfortable?

If that is your concern, then don't put 18 inch wheels on.

I have no idea, but, my guess is NO! You need to do more research to be certain. I do know that in later model Focus, there were quite different suspension setups between the performance versions and lower spec models, even though they looked the same. So, don't make any assumptions about whether putting 18" wheels is going to be a straight set-and-forget fit; it might not be. Thread (pun intended) carefully!

I'm fairly sure the lower spec Focus requires a steering rack limiter with 18" wheels - otherwise on full lock you'll snag the wheel on the inner guard.

Can anyone confirm this?
