Default mk5 1.6 escort alloy problems

Hey,
Ive just bought a set of what i was told to be 5 spoke rs turbo alloys. Same style to the dog legs but without the space between the spokes. Ive just tried to put one on the front to find that the back of the spokes are hitting the calliper and cant get them on properly. Can anyone tell me what size spacers i need? and if i will need to change the studs also as from what i can see if i put spacers on the studs wont be long enough. Im a bit of a novice to this so any help would be great.

The strangest thing is that i believe them to be rs turbo alloys but i cannot find any pics of them online anywhere. I really want to make them fit as they have been refurbed and painted gloss black and have brand new avon zv3 tyres on....and i only paid £45 for them so was a total bargain!

Below is a pic of the alloys ive bought. They do have a ford logo emobossed on the back of the alloy. The tyres on them are 185/60 r14's

Look forward to your replies.
