I think a mustangs wheel bolt spacing is like 4 1/2" or something like that whereas i think those Escorts and EXP's have metric bolt spacing so they're like 100mm (for example, i really have no idea what they'd exactly be) or something along those lines. The vehicles that would have wheels garaunteed to fit are '83-'88 Thunderbirds or Cougars, any '79 to '93 mustang or Capri, '78 to '83 Fairmonts or Zephyrs, '84 or '85 to '93?? Lincoln Mark VII (vehicle is very similar to a mustang, but heavier and plusher), early to mid 80's fox body LTD's or Marquis.
the wheels that you see in the picture of my '84 LX is the style used by '87 to '90 GT's with thunderbird centercaps off of another style wheel. Also, in later years, thunderbirds/Cougars also used those "turbine" wheels.
Good luck on your search,
