For the front bumper and grill, they will not fit on your car... The XR5T was based on the previous generation MK2 Focus (LS, LT and LV), and you have a MK3 Focus (LW, LZ), which has a different body shape and chassis, despite your LW looking pretty similar to the LV Focus...

As for the XR5T wheels, I did a quick Google search and I believe that they do fit, however not too sure on the offset, so I can't guarantee that they'll fit properly, though maybe try a test fit and see if they look good, if you're mechanically inclined...

A couple of things though, is your car a Powershift Automatic? They're horrible transmissions when it comes to reliability... How many km does your car have?
