Yea they'll fit.... but I don't see why you would want a heavier and more narrow wheel on your FD...

Exactly, why would you put on a 1" narrower wheel that's 9 lbs heavier per corner?

And no, it won't fit. The centerbore of the FC was much smaller than the FD (59mm vs 67mm?). The centerbore of the wheels would have to be machined out.

I have a pic of my old TII wheels on the back of my FD, haha. Keep in mind I only did this b/c my FD was not running at the time and I was taking my FC to the track and needed lighter wheels and my some tread since my TII's were bald.

I'm guessing he found a set of aftermarket wheels on an FC that he'd like to put, or try to put on his FD. Stock FC wheels on an FD would otherwise be pretty stupid.

ARE YOU NOT LISTENING? Putting TII rims on an FD is a downgrade in handling, ride quality, braking, and aesthetics as well, IMO. There is no reason to do it and many not to.

please don't wast your time... the stock FD wheels are far superior to the TII wheels in both looks, quality and handling ability. just b/c something's an original idea doesn't make it a GOOD idea . in the end, I could care less what you do and if you do it PLEASE post pics!!
...and put your flame suit on .
