They will "fit" but you need spacers at least up front. The offset is different and will not fit without the spacers.

Corksport sells spacers especially for FD wheels on FCs. www.corksport.com . Not sure on the price of the CS spacers, but Id assume around $200. That seems to be about the price of most other brand of spacers.

Rxfn7,

Please dont get bronze rims. Stick with gunmetal, it will look sweat. I have a charcoal 87 GXL and was thinking between silver and Gunmetal. (I'm leaning toward the gunmetal though.)

Post some picks when them.

Maybe next time you'll read the FAQ in the top of the section since this question is covered there and answered even with what size spacers you need.

you could pick up spacers at any performance store, I picked mine up for about $8 each.
