Im running these but I will still need spacers to get the wheel out to where I want it.

Ouch. What size fronts are you using?

Im only allowed to run 7" rims with 205 50 15s on and seen as there isn't a huge amount of different offsets availiable I will space them out to fill the arch.

We manufacture an alloy replacment hub for the rs2000.
(retaining the std off set).
have a look here.

Australian RS2000 struts are different to the European ones

Interesting for sure.
In what way?

Different bearings and integral steering arms

They are the same as mk2 Escort 1600 struts but have a 2in dia tube..

That was one thing I was wondering if you bought the hubs to suit the UK 1600 struts if they fitted correctly on the Australian Struts.

There couldn't possible be a different fit for the different struts put into Escorts like AUS 1300, AUS 1600, AUS 2L and UK 1300, UK 1600, UK RS (Capri). That would be crazy on a parts persptective.
