I see tons of 25mm or 1" spacers for 5 x 114.3mm all day on eBay.
I see tons of 3mm to 5mm spacers for 5 x 114.3mm all day on eBay.

Anything in between is kinda rare, although there's a set of 15mm or about 1/2" offset spacers that just ended...for way too much for what it was worth.

Are you looking for 4 x 114.3mm ones or some weird thickness?

i used FC and rx7 in my search and i think that is what limited me. i wasnt sure if going generic was gonig to give me problems to install.

it worries me when they state what its fits and my car isnt list. example:

Yup. If your wheels don't fit as they are now you definatly need spacers.

You should be fine if you get the right offset and bolt pattern. The thickness depends on how much you need to push the wheel out. They don't list the FC on their lists because they're too lazy to look up every vehicle in existence with the same pattern.

The only other important thing that I can think of is to make sure you get spacers that have the lip in the middle or else the lugs take all the weight of the vehicle and that's dangerous.

I have 4 lug on my 88 FC... so, would that mean I'm looking for, 4 x 114.3?
