Default Escort/FRS off set

Help!

Anyone know if 18' escort cossie rondalswill go on a FRS? Would the offset have the wheels sticking too far out or too far in? If too far out do you think they could be machined and if too far in, where could i get some spacers?

The FRS offset is ET42 & as far as i know most cossie wheels are around ET15 to 20 - either way with the cossie offset the wheels will stick out of the arches too far & also rub

Duncan (The FRS Registrar on the RSOC) bolted a set of his cossie rims onto his FRS one weekend to see what the fit was like & they stuck out of the arch by a good 1 & 1/2 cm

Do you think that the centre hub part to the rim could be machined down that far to go on the car? I have a set of 18" cossie fit mag replicas that would look the dogs on a FRS imo.

please help me!!! lol!
