RS wheels meant for arched escorts are 7.5" with ET-19 (offset 44mm less than your ET25)

[you'll get 10s on that]

Unfortunately the wheels you'll need for an arched escort will take a sizeable chunk out of your budget. For a set of good 7 or 7.5J RS fur spokes, budget on at least £500, and then there's the tyres........... Other rims may be cheaper but most wide rims attract a premium.
