says 'very deep dish' which might mean an obscenely wide offset, so you'd have to cut heaps off the front mudguards, more than usual with 13"s - not something I'd want to gamble with |

I have seen a few Escorts running 13x7 minilite wheels, exactly the same as my mini wheels in every dimension.... except for the stud hole PCD. 
Just remember that the stud holes are 1.6mm closer together on the escort wheels and MIGHT snap your wheel studs off

yeah i know my brother has an escort and i tried to fit his mags to my car but they didn't fit unbelieveably close though i was going to get them redrilled to suit mini stud pattern if i did this do you think they would fit. |

Hmmm..... now, i'm no escort expert, but I dont recall any "big flares" being fitted to those cars. The body lines were just like this......  
They were definitely NOT pumped like these  
And i remember that because when I saw one the cars, i was gonna offer em $800 for the wheels, thinking that the car didnt deserve to have so much rust and such nice wheels.... the panels were rooted!!!!!

By the way....... I stumbled across this Norwegian wheel company.... http://www.kollevold.no/compomotive.htm They make these 3 wheels in anywhere between 13x5.5" and 13x11.5" wide 
  
I'd love to see the dish on those

where do you get rims re-drilled, ive gathered its not something youd do with the old battery powered makita in the back yard, do wheel shops do them? tyre places maybe?? |

your local mag store should be able to redrill mags for you, don't know if any tyre places will though. |
