Question about Corksport wheel spacers

Im buying a set of wheels that were used on an FD, so I assume they are the same offset as FD wheels. They are 16x8, and I will presumably be needing spacers. I like the corksport spacers because they are hubcentric, and while a bit on the pricey side, look like the best spacer to get. Question is, they are 33mm. This seems a little big to me. Will I be able to run 33mm spacers without rubbing the fender? Also, does anyone know if the price for the CS spacers is for 2, or 4? (For almost 300 for spacers, Id hope it was 4.... ) Also, how do they work? Looking at the pic confused me. They are studded themselves, so how would they attach to the original stud


Also, if I wont be able to use these, could someone please suggest where I can buy spacers to use with FD wheels..

See the holes where there's just a hole? That's what takes the original stud and nuts. The studs you see in that pic is what the tire will mount to.

That ia a thick *** spacer, normally used for a wide body kit.

Do you know that off-set of the FD wheels? You can go here http://toy4two.home.mindspring.com/offset.html

and type in the stock off set and to new off set and it'll tell ya.

Oh if for any reason the off set is the same , as you seem to think, you wouldn't spacers.

Just got info back from corksport...the spacers can not be used with the stock fenders, it will push the wheel too far out.
