49.5!? Do you mean 39.5? As for rubbing, do you speak from personal experience?

When I tried to fit 15" Escort GT wheels on my '95 SE they rubbed so bad on the brake calipers that I couldn't even make the lugs tight . The calipers foul the backside of the wheels and bind up . I didn't even try to put 'em on the rear , as that would have been futile . And seeing as all "garden variety" Contiques have the same brakes up front , I can say that they WILL NOT fit ANY Contique .
