We run '0' offset on the front '-10' on the rear, 52" atlas but 13" rims...

The turbosport boys might be a better bet for a definitive answer pal....

You will need some big offset when using a standard rs2 axle.... If your not looking to fit an atlas then search for "Yukspeed" and ring him, he's been building escorts for 50 years, what he doesn't know isn't worth it.
