Discs... which ones?

Are there two types of 240mm escort/fiesta front discs? Looking on brakes international recons the overall width of the mk3/4 escort ones is 58.2mm, however when I went to the motorfactors and bought a pair and measured them they appear to be 43mm. I want as high offset as possible so what car do I actually want them off?

Offset will be determined by the amount the caliper is back from the drive flange.

In my case it's the other way round I need as high offset discs as possible and the calipers are mounted to suit.
