Eagle Talon Rims

Hey guys, I'm buying a 1993 fd shell but it doesn't have any wheels, I have a buddy willing to sell me some stock talon rims, I know the bolt pattern is 5x114.3 but I wanted to know if there is any reason they won't fit, it don't want to show up with rims and a trailer only to not have them fit. Thanks for reading

The pattern will fit but you need to know if the offset will prevent the car from rolling by hitting the fenders or the brakes.
Check the wheel fitment thread or google the offset.

Thanks, I looked and found out that the rims I have are 16x6 with a 46 mm offset but I can't find the range of offset that an fd will fit, any ideas?

compare it to the FD wheel spec,and it it is pretty well the same then you are good to go.
I put MX6 wheels on my FC at one point,but I am too poor for an FD so congrats on even getting a roller.
