FD OEM wheels on an FC?

I figure I'll get a quicker response here, I need new rims asap...

Sorry if this has been asked before, but after aquiring my new Brembos all around the car, I need to upgrade the rims on my FC. Currently they are 5x114.3, 15" and 6" wide (I think, its an '88 with sport susp.) I'm looking for OEM FD wheels as an upgrade, but my question is, can the OEM FD wheels fit on my FC? They are 16" x 8", 50mm offset, 5x114.3 bolt circle. I just dont want the insides of the tires (sides closest to the center of the car) rubbing the body (like, where the shocks are). If anyone can let me know if they will fit without any modifications, I'd appreciate it. And if they can, I'm looking to buy a set of them. Preferably with tires already on, and I don't care if they are used, just no major curb rash. Thanks all

Rears fit fine, fronts need a spacer, usually from 3/4" to 1". Just thought I'd answer your questions before the "OMG SEARCH U DUMAS OMG" people inevitably come.

^ Very informative, except my rims are 15"x6.5", not 16"x7". I'll find out how much of a spacer I'll need, thanks guys, good to know they can fit.

Time to find a set and some spacers now...
