I currently have them on, they don't stick out. I needed to use a 5 mm spacer though. I don't think I have any pics with them on.. I'll take a look when I get home.

What size spacer are you running? I'd guess at least 25mm, maybe 30mm. The front looks like it sticks out a little too far.

I know this has nothing to do with FD rims on an FC, but since you were speaking about spacers, i recently received some rims from a friend and they are too wide, i figure a good 1/4-1/2 inch spacer would do the trick nicely. My question is where should i get the spacers from? I only need two. Is there anything special i should be looking for? or will the generic wheel spacers work just fine?

I had them on my fc and they stuck out with the spacers, virtually no room even with spacers , a very tight fit. Outside of the wheel well is not cool, screws with the balnace and handling, i used to get alot of vibration. I think its better to go aftermarket

Moving the centerline of the tire out from the hub will move your "scrub radius" further positive. This can increase steering-effort, and cause some weirdness (relative to what you're used to) in the steering and handling. It shouldn't (by itself) be the source of vibration. If the overall change in offset is pretty severe, it would be prudent to get the car realigned.

I'm hesitant to call a little extra scrub a bad thing... I will, on the other hand, call a wheel sticking out of its well a bad thing -- just 'cause I think it looks tacky.
