I looked into this when I had my Fiesta RST.. basically you can do it but need coilovers for clearance, and 205 profile tyres and fuck off arch mods

Machining wasn't an option

Ah ok but its the same prinicible, right tyres, suspension clearance and arch mods. IIRC You can't machine wheels as regardless of the offset the depth of the lug nuts will need to be the same.
