uhhhh...

Anyways, just get the offset info.

For a little bit of information, the wheels from a 97+ Honda Prelude bolt right up onto a FC.

It is my understanding that the offset is like 60mm/ET on the Mazda 6 wheels.

which would mean you would need, at the very least spacers of 20-25mm just to clear a 17x7 wheel

FWD from what I have heard are just made stronger to handle both power from torque and steering.

other then that if the offsets are the same them the rims are the same

but I did think I heard they wont fit

Well, I was thinking of doing this too. Here's a poor photoshop I did of it.

**BTW, this is not my car, it is pablo_escabar's unless he sold it.
