Will stock 3rd gen wheels fit on a 5 lug 2nd gen?

I tried using the search function but was lost in a sea of for sale threads. So will stock FD3S wheels (from a 93) fit on a 5 lug FC3S?

thanks

You will need spacers, I believe 25mm. Contact Rishie at autoRnD I think he has them in stock.

Thanks for the link. That was really helpful. I was thinking about putting my stock 16s on an FC. Does anyone know if I use this wider wheel and spacers, will I need fender flares?

there is a 10mm difference in the offset but you have to remember that the fd wheels are also an inch wider and you need to calculate that into the measurement of the spacer

FD wheels on the FC are a great mod. light and fit the chassis well w spacers and longer wheel studs. i probably logged 150,000 miles on such a setup.

i don't recall the spacer thickness but i remember finding the longer studs at SpeedSource
(Fl, Sylvain Trembley).
