You will need spacers in the front.

No, You need adapters. The offset is way different, the adapter bolts to the hub and it has its own lugs that you bolt the rims to. You'll need all four, not just the fronts. I have a customer with a set of 18's on his fc right now.

Thanks I didn't know that. The swap would not be worth it now IMO.
