i can't wait to see this! tib rims make any car look sexay.

question: when you put on your new rims, do you just put them on or does a mechanic have to run some tests on it and put them on himself (offset)? i'd think there would be some spacers involved between the hub and the rim??

No, I was planning on putting these on myself. The offset is the same on both vehicles. I am not sure what tests there would be.

Bad news though, I do not think that this is going to work.

I was doing some searching and found out that the bolt pattern on an Escort is 4x100mm and as this forum states, the Tib is 4x114.3mm.

That sucks, I was getting a great deal on these rims but this kid needs rims to replace the ones on his car. We are going to try it tonight but I do not think that it will work. I will let you know.

*Update*

Well, just as I thought, my rims did not fit on the Escort. The Enkei's looked sexy on my car though. A deal like that does not come around every day.

Oh well. The money that was going to go to the rims, just went to an Apexi N1 muffler.
