Offset is way too low, they will probably stick out a fair bit or catch on the arches.

I'll second that mate. I run Group A wheels with an et32 offset on my focus rs mk1. These are very close to the arch lips and sometimes catch on hard cornering. Et25 is escos offset I believe. Your wasting your time.

I have 7x18 oz super ts with et42 which fit perfect 8x18 and that offset you quoted will cause issues

Focus RS wheels are et42 8x18

Hence why the RS has bigger arches.
