Will Mazda 3 Rims (the 17s) fit on the FD?

I was out last night, and saw a Mazda 3 with the stock 17s 5 spoke. They actually look really clean and I like them. I was wondering if its possible to fit them on the FD? I can probably find someone willing to give up his stockers.

Don't put a smaller diameter wheel on an FD.

And they probably won't fit because it's an FWD car. The offset is most likely all wrong.

You can't put 225/45 17s on 6.5" wide wheels. Quit acting like a ricer.
