this is the thing,..all I know is that the wheel is 5x114.3 and it is a 17" wheel..I do not have th other Stats on the wheel..so my Question really is Can I run these wheels on my FC..and Has anyone run a set on their FC?.if so,Spacers?..Thanks alot..I tried the suspension section..it's Dead there!
lol if u dont know the offset then no one can tell if if they will forsure work or not....
the offset is very important, if it is too +you will need a spacer, and how big of a spacer would depend on what the offset and width of the rim was....
so with out this information no one can help u. so its more of a go try them and see what happens at this point then.

Looking at the wheels suggested by the Tire Rack it looks like you'd need a spacer since they're all in the 40-50mm range.
IMHO if they're not at least a 8" wide wheel then it's not worth it. I know not everyone likes them, but Mustang GT wheels from about 95-04 fit perfectly. 17x8 with a 30mm offset allows you to run 225/45/17's without any worries of rubbing on either the suspension or the fenders and the tires fit nice and squarely on the wheels. There's many different styles too. They're not too terribly heavy (the good ones are ~20lbs) and they're quite commonly available and quite cheap too.
