You need the specifics of the bolt pattern and offset and width.
i.e. 4X110, 4X110, 4X114.3, etc...
+50, +40, +35, etc...
6in., 6.5in, 7in, etc...

I believe the 4 lug FCs are 4x114.3, so check that out. And if they are the right bolt pattern I guess they would fit, but not always right. Not sure what offset you want, think like 45mm.

FWD only generally denotes that the offsets are really high. 17's if probably the biggest you would want to go. You can do 18's but there isn't much room for tires in the front and you'd be in danger of damaging the rims without enough tire around them. Do a search in the second gen archive. You'll be able to fit the same thing any other normal second gen can, just you have 4 lugs and not 5 like some.
