These wheels look like the SAP wheels, but are for the fusion. But will they fit the Escape?

They're Mustang wheels.

17x8. Not sure what the offset is.

So they'll fit, but I think they'll stick out a bit. That or the brakes will get in the way and they won't fit at all.

Edit: looks like the offset of the 17x8s run at +44. Escape's are at +40, so you'll just get an inch-wider wheel.

They are 17x8" 45mm offset, I didnt know if the offset would matter much. Would they still stick out as you said? The price is very good, but I want to make sure I wont have any issues with them. I want to get as close to the oem SAP 17" black alloy rims.

The SAP black wheels are 17x7+40mm if I recall correctly, so as long as you find the right tire, I guess you should be okay. I think theescaperoute is running the Cobra 18x9s and he doesn't seem to have any issues.

Regular trim Mustangs run a 18x8.5+50mm wheel. It looks like the pre-gen SVTs used a 18x9.5+45mm wheel and the current ones are a 19x9.5+45mm wheel.

I am on 18x9 Cobras, thanks for noticing... :thumb:
And they come out a little past the fenders, by a half-inch at absolute most. Personally, it's not very noticeable, and I think the car has an aggressive look. If I had the OE flares, which I'm doing in the future, they would be right about flush with the flare.
As far as fitment goes, I've got plenty of clearance on 255 55 r18.

Well the auction ends in about an hour, but I want to get more input on this before I make the purchase. I may just wait till the 17" SAP OEM's pop up somewhere...

Those Mustang wheels look good but I personally think your all black truck would look better with the flatter OEM SAP wheels rather than the rounded Mustang wheels. But that's just me. And $530 after shipping is a fair price but not that great. I'd hold out for what you really want.

Yeah I'm thinking I will hold out until they pop up on Ebay, will be better to wait for spring/summer. P
