i had et35 on mine, filled the arches perfectly, and as a personal opinion looked alot better with that offset.

its the 'et' ford should have done them with.

yup, you'd need spacers for them... 5 or 10mm depending on rim width...

no, it would make the handling almost identical to that on stock wheels, just buy something decent, like H&R for example
