FC3S Wheel fitment
Hi all,
Looking into some wheels to swap the current ones on my 1986 FC3S (body and suspension are stock), and just wondering if the following sounds like it'll fit:
16" 8.5 offset +20
16" 8.5 offset +32
Thanks

Maybe someone with an FC will chime in. In the meantime, FWIW, I found this in one of the sticky threads in the Wheels/Tires/Suspension section.....
here is MY way to find out if the wheel fits the fc or not. if you already know the offset of the wheel then that should be even better. just check out the image. this is only a rough estimate. 
the first picture shows the distance from the rotor to the shock and the rotor to the fender. from there if you have or is looking at a wheel 18x8.5 +33 offset, then in the rear you would have about 2" clearance from the shock and about .75" clearance from the fender. check out the second image of how i did that calculation.
