not really, pre au are almost 0 offset depending on who you talk to. Also, cars like supras/heaps of jap cars have the same 114.3 pcd, and 0 offset wheels for them are not hard to find

you're by far best sticking with 15's, if you go any larger its a defect, and if you get picked up on your wheels, they will most likely pull you up on everything else aswell.

Do have you flared the guards on the escort? I used to have 13x6 dragways with zero offset and they scrubbed hard with 205 tyres.

Another night pouring over websites looking at wheels.
I am really starting to get quite depressed.

i agree but if you have a engineer signed off on it its all good! :)
if it were a ground up resto and you made big mods which needed engineering i would go 16's (17's look to big on Escorts) but if not i would go 15's to save the $$$ on engineering and the cops
