i have the stock 16X8 wheels for an fd. Will i be able to just put them on an fc without spacers up front?

I'm allmot positive you need spacers

yes you need spacers

And your handling won't feel right with the spacers.

Just curious why think it won't handle right with spacers? If the suspension is setup correctly it shouldn't matter. There are tons of circuit cars that run them, in japan at least. Pan Speed, Re, r-magic exc....

That's what I heard from someone running them. Maybe Srce can explain more instead of just posting an icon, since he does nothing but read about this stuff.

Where could i get spacers from?

Its true..the cars "neutrality" is gone with the spacres. Just keep your hands on the wheel!



Either use H&R 25 mm spacers, or the Corksport 25mm spacers. Those are both hubcentric.

Which one should fit ?



H&R SPACER FORD/MAZDA (5:114.3/59.5) 25MM



or



H&R SPACER FORD/MAZDA (5:114.3/67.1) 25MM

That second number the hub diameter listing. Go measure your hubs.

Thanks I will check that. Hopefully it's going to be one of these two.

If I remember right - our (FC) hubs are a bit less than 60mm. So the 59.5 sounds exactly right.



I think the 67.1mm is the FD hub size.



So in this lies a problem. You are putting a wheel with a 67.1 mm hub onto a wheel with a 60mm hub. That is a dangereous combination, as your studs will be bearing all the weight of the wheel instead of the bub which should be doing that job. The consequences will be broken studs...and I hope for your sake that they do not break while in motion!!!



I suggest that you also invest in a pair of centering rings. Sorry for the "evil" link...but that thread is extreemly informative for those who do not run stock wheels.

Is it why there is a kind of lip on the spacer shown in this thread ?

Yes. That lip is what holds the weight of your car, instead of the studs. That lip is what the above diameters is refering to.

Ok, so I should get the spacer with 59.5 mm lip and put a ring over it to get the 67.1 mm of the FD wheel ? Did I get it ?



Thanks a lot sunshine!

If what FD3S-wanted said is true, where would be the best place to order that equipmant? I don't want to get the wrong thing.

Today I checked the hub diameter and it's 59,xx mm. I also put the FD wheel in the FC hub and it fits perfect, no need of centering ring.



So I need this spacer: H&R SPACER FORD/MAZDA (5:114.3/59.5) 25MM .



Am I right ??
