Will the stock FD wheels fit properly on the FC? Will I need spacers? Anyone know the weight of these wheels?

25mm spacers. I used 4 spacers to keep the tracking with in specs. If you don't you'll look like a honda and handling will be very arkward.



Even with the spacers, the car's handling will suffer as it will react awarkard and put more stain of the front bearings.



I would do it for show and not performance.



That spacers were from H&R 25mm spacer, is more like an adapter which comes with its own studs on the spacer. They are expensive.



I have seen a person use mr gasket spacer and that was so close to the shock absorber, any bending of the tire and it will rub the shock.



THe H&R spacers are the best cause they are hub centric so they will be balanced.



There is also this place that I found after i got my spacers. They look like these. These are custom made.

THe weight of the H&R spacers and FD rims is still lighter than a Stock TII rim.

Thanks for the response. I'm quite glad I asked before buying them. The whole idea of purchasing the wheels was for weight savings and performance. I'll keep looking.



Thanks again.
