Re: escort rs turbo 15" wheels
The wheels will physically fit but the tyre size is incorrect as teh Fiesta should be using 195/45/15's. As they are a 50 profile the whole wheel and tyre assembly will be larger and you are likely to have scrubbing issues to say the least

Don't need much difference to throw things on the squiff.
Get a phot of the side of your car and then play with Photoshop to see what you can come up with

i had these alloys on my old fiesta which was lowered 60mm and had 45 profile tyres, i had no rubbing issues at all, not on full lock or when loaded!

No as the spacing isn't the problem. The problem is that the wheels rolling radius has been increased so adding spacers would put the wheel further out and exasperate the problem
