it will depend on how you convert to 5lug, and your opinion of "fit."

they would stick out past the front fenders with my setup.

no bueno.  i didn't realize there were different ways to convert.  this is one aspect of these cars where my research is very incomplete.

Nice wheel choice, that the wheel that I am working on putting on mine.

You shouldn't have any issues in the back, but to get the front's pulled in you will need to run the shorter a-arms and CC plates.

It was mine!

I tried a style like that before my Y2Ks.  They looked good mocked up but the offset was off (they were 4 lug for the Focus).

Those look great!

As far as I know, most SN95 offset wheels will fit out cars without too much issue if you keep the stock spindles or use 94-95 SN95 spindles. I was running some stockers off of a 95 GT with no issue on Mark VII rotors.

You know something I don't?

Red pinstripes on the sides and no mudflaps on the front of the car. That looks great with those wheels :birdsmily:

I suppose it's a matter of opinion or tastes. Yes they will bolt on and such but in my opinion without some modifying they are going to stick out too far in the front.

Here is a pic of that wheel mounted directly to the hub so with the added thickness of the rotor, it's going to stick out even more.
