What width are they Col ? could be made to fit but would mean a hell of a lot of cutting and messing about.

YIp would think you would need to trim more than the plastic kit , would need to roll the arches aswell. Look how wide escos wheels sit on a 3 door.

an escort cossie looks like it is sitting on castors with 3 door wheels on it so imagine it the other way round with ET15s, IIRC standard offset escos wheels are ET25
