The offset is a bit low ,iirc et20 was used on rwd fords(Capri etc) , but as long as you check for rubbing lock to lock then you should be fine. The reduction in profile to 55 does make a dramatic difference over the 60profile. Regards ride, you mention lowering springs , if these are xr2 fiesta ones then yes the ride will be shocking as they are far too hard. Quantum used to sell custom made springs correctly rated to give the correct height while maintaining a decent ride quality.
