Highly unlikely without some surgery.
Still worth having a crack mind.

you might not get 13" rims on a sierra, some of em need 14"s to clear the brakes

i think sierra wheels are et38 which is closer to a fwd offset than a lot of older fords, you'll be clumping the arches and suffering nasty tramlining problems as well as loading up the wheel bearings more than you should, escort cossie rims are to wide for a sierra really, dunno what size they are.

they do fit on but both ones ive had have had clearance issues on the front, mind you mine were V6's and they have a slightly wider track. The point i meant to make was that a 4" offset is probably to much, an escort cossie wheel is 8" wide and has an ET of about 20 i think and they stick well out.
stand to be corrected, but its not easy to get wide wheels on sierras with a lot of offset, going the other way is a problem as well, even the standard sierra cossie rims are very close to the front struts.

Those rims are awesome!!!!  Had not thought about caliper clearence, that might kill the idea of 13"!!! oh well What I really want is a set of 15" BBS cross spokes or Ronal LS MMMmmmm but they all seem to be bloody 4x100 you lucky dubbers  Thinking manybe a set of 3dr cosworth alloys would work nicely with a big drop, gold center with polished lip? ?  what cha' think? |

Edit:better pics ignore the low pro tyres   these are 15x7 ET38 i'm gonna *try* hang onto these, your cossie rims will have a similar fit. ET40 IIRC, might just work... |

 it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts  |

Ratty: the khan's on your old sierra look really nice, however I want to go for a more euro style style approach on mine. I had 17" on my last XR3i and they totally killed the acceloration (sic) Reanimation: Aint seen those rims before real 80's style, are they ford ones or aftermarket ones? Get them polished they would look lush! |

.........I had 17" on my last XR3i and they totally killed the acceloration (sic) I guess that wasn't an issue.......... I've just noticed the "Hiding up front" link awesome stuff, the fact it's got the 1.8i LX badge on the back is SWEET!!!! |

205/40/17s aren't a big jump from a GLSi's standard 195/60/14s in terms of rolling radius, and most Ghias came with 195/65/14s which are actually taller than the 17s!
Correct about 13s, they won't fit. However, world = oyster here!
Might hunt out some 3-door Cosworth rims myself.....
