I have a 85 honda prelude and I would like to switch the aftermarket rims with a 95 ford escort. they both have a 4 bolt pattern and if I measure from center of bolt to bolt they are the same. The only difference I see is that the honda has disc brakes front and back and the escort has them only in the front. My concern is the brakes and the fit

IT WILL PROBABLY FIT.DID YOU CHECK THE HUB SIZE? I WOULD NOT EVEN DARE TO PUT A DIFFERENT BRAND ON YOUR CAR. STICK TO YOUR BRAND,IT'S YOUR LIFE THAT'S RIDING ON IT! WHY DO YOU EVEN WANT TO PUT AN OLDER RIM ON YOUR CAR? GO TO CRAIGSLIST, YOU'LL FIND MORE CHOICES THERE FOR YOUR CAR.

NO! THEY HAVE DIFFENT HUBS THATS WHY WHEN YOU BUY THEM YOU SELECT THEM FOR A HONDA PRELUDE AND NOT A FOR G-SCORT!!!!!!!!!

As long as the lude rims are 14" or bigger they will fit. They both have 4x100 lug patterns. Stock rim size for an escort is 14", so anything smaller wont clear the brakes/rotors.
