Will these fit?
 
Can anyone advise me as to whether I will have problems fitting these wheels with them being 8" wide?

yes they will fit adam,but you will have the same rubbing issues as escort cossie wheels,would look mean though and totally different ;-)

With being ET25 am i right in thinking they will sit further into the arches than the escos wheels?

ET25 wheels will need 8-10mm spacers to bring them back to a useable offset. I'm running 8x17 ET35 wheels on mine and have slight rubbing on the rears but with a little trimming they'll be ok.

Wrong way round mate. If you put 10mm spacers on a et25 it would bring them out to et15 not et35! So they would stick out and scuff like a bitch:wall:

PS The smaller the offset the further the wheel sits out.

I have standard 2wd cosworth alloys on mine, you can't use escort bolts as they will pull through, speedshack sell the conversion bolts (and longer ones too) with the std cosworth alloys (205's) I'm having to use 6mm spacers on the back and 5mm on the front, but thats quite low on coilovers on the front. No scrubbing at all, but would rather not have the spacers!
