I'm sure they are a ET42 offset so you will need spacers to fit. HTH Steve

Dan from RAPI-FORD has a set on his escort, not too sure if he uses spacers though.

this is one of the Ellmer Autosport Cars.

It is sold. It had spacers on, as the Porsche Brake at the front needed it because of the huge saddles. I can t remind how thick. I ll ask Guido tomorrow, as I m in his workshop daily nowadays
