    With a fair bit of arch rolling/ cutting, and not much lowering yes.

    I think they look way too big though, and the rolling radius is enlarged by tons......

    16's are the way to go!

    I agree with Numa on this one, 16's is the way to go, you can still get away with killer driving without arch messing, 18's make Escorts look like a cart, need a bigger car to carry them off well, looks gud on the new M3's

    16's better handling then 17's but 17 are the shit. I'd go 17's for certain, unless you are planning on using your car mainly on a track. the handling loss will be slight. 18's dont look right and performance wise, dont compare

    if they could be fitted it would destroy the handling/ride/accel!

    Even 17's look to big I think!

    They do look good in photos, but in real life just a tad too big, and make the Escort look a bit 'tall'.....
