yes they will fit but u might not clear the brakes, why would you want mk3 xr3 wheels on a s2?

stick with the std s2 rims or look at wheels from other fords like the 16in mondeo cossie style rims, 17in rs 7 spokes etc...

Something different maybe? I'd be interested to see them on the car!
All the wheels you have listed have been done to death
Dont get me wrong they would still look good but it's nice to see someone trying something else for a change
