Default escort cossie wheels

i have a mk4.
thinking of getting cossie wheels for it but what i need to know is how people go about the larger bolt holes?
do you cat the collars off the mk5 escort wheel nuts and use them?

you can either buy new bolts with the correct fitment on or just buy the washers to make standard bolts fit! personally i would'nt fit escort cos rims because the offset is all wrong!!

this subject has been raised many times on here and the general consensus is the offset is all wrong. i personally know of 3 people that put ecos rims on and within a week they were off again
