The haynes roadster was designed around 15" wheels with I think 195/50x15 suggested as the tyre size. So the handling is likely to be best suited to these size tyres. The wheel arches are also designed for these wheels though so long as your rolling diameter is the same as for 195/50x15 then I can see no problem with the wheel arches. ie you could use lower profile 16" or 14" with greater profile - though the handling wont be as sharp as the slip angle increases with increase in profile.
Best bet for those wheels would be to find a Capri or Escort website.
Friend of mine had a set like that on her 3.0S Capri.
