won't fit like Gumby said.  Neighbor down the road has a set of wheels on his escort that look like the police car crown vics with the black wheel and chrome center caps....looks slick...from a distance.

Tempo/Topaz wheels do fit though.  They are small though.

I believe the wheels from the newer Focus will fit also. Not sure about the offset though.

They do have the same bolt circle but the back spacing/offset is wrong.
