what spacers for fd wheels on fc?

What size wheel spacers do I need to fit stock FD wheels on my FC vert, and make the stock 225/50/16 tires fit pretty flush but not rub? I know it's not the same front and back since my back wheels sit inside the wheel well say further than the fronts. Thank you.

Corksport makes a spacer for this purpose.

Please read the FAQ for FC at the top of this section before posting as this is covered in there.

The corksport spacers cannot be used with the stock fenders...they will make the wheels stick out too far and rub. They are designed for use with the CS wide fenders.

If you want the rears to sit flush, it requires a pretty big spacer (like at least 1" or 25mm).  With such a large spacer, your stock wheel studs are NOT safe enough to use - this requires longer wheel studs, which can be a problem for some owners.

I need to know this as well. I am aware of the offset difference, and I have someone to make me spacers. But I need to know where I can get the proper length studs. I work at an auto parts store, and still can't get ahold of some. Help.

ARP makes them - they are actually for GM applications.  The thread pitch is 12mm x 1.5:
