Question MKII brakes upgrade now what offset??

I'm sure everyone has seen the big brake upgrade on ebay for escorts, i have just bought one and am in the process of installing, changed the stud pattern to 5x114.3(falcon pattern) just wondering if anyone has fitted one of these kits and what wheels(offset fit) tried some au falcon wheels but seem to hit the strut so ithink that means i need more negative offset??

any help be great thanks..

Yes, standard "old" Falcon offset (0 - 10mm) will fit. Probably be limited to 6" wide rims I imagine or you may encounter guard fouling esp at the rear bottom edge of the front wheel arches.
