You'll never get them on a Zetec-S.
An Escort Cossie is ET23
A Fiesta Turbo is ET35, so already way off
A Zetec-S is ET43.5!!
So already they will stick out of the arches by nearly an inch, plus the fact that they are 2 inches wider than a Zetec-S wheel. The edge of the wheel is likely to be over 2 inches too far out of the arch to pass an MOT.
You could maybe do it by converting all the running gear to MK3, which is a bit of a backwards step, or machining the wheels to get the offset right. Not ideal as you'll weaken them too much.
