Question How do I fit a set of Focus RS mk1 wheels on my DOHC Sierra

Hi!

I recently got me a set of the focus rs mk1 wheels. Those come in 18" if I'm not wrong.

I fit tested them without tires on my sierra, and the inside of the wheel clear the suspension show by an inch; this with the car on a jackstand. The car is a 92' Ford sierra GT 2.0i DOHC.

Thing is that I don't think the wheels are gonna fit with the stock suspension and steering setup. I thought that maybe I could get some cleareance with spacers, but I want to upgrade the suspension in the future anyways. And there is where I could use some help.

I've seen people mounting this wheels on a saphire cosworth, so I'd like to know if those come with a different suspension or how do they fit them in there at all. I also thought of replacing the whole sway bar, suspension and steering arms to get something longer, but i dont think this is quite possible without machining them from scratch.

By the way, thanks in advance for any help I receive; this is my first post here and I hope you guys can help me out.
