Yet another FC -> FD rims question

Ok, searching this subject is pretty difficult because most people refer to them as "FD" and "FC" rims and you can't search anything less than 3 characters in length... Sooooo, if this has been covered before, I'm sorry, yada yada yada, not my fault. =P

I'm aware this is possible, but there are some things I'd like to clear up:

1) I know(I think) that I need to run 25mm offset in the front, but what about the back to get the rear tires to match? The same?

2) And more importantly, where can I buy the spacers? H&R obviously doesn't make them for the RX-7, do they make something for another car that will fit the RX-7? Protege or something?

I am not looking to replace my lugs with longer ones, so any old spacer isn't going to do, I need the ones that fit over the stock lugs with their own set of bolts for the rim. Tons of thanks in advance guys, I appreciate it.

Steve

P.S. For future searching purposes:

look in a few option magazines, all us drifter guys use them although it starts to get expensive when you buy 2-4 of them to push your wheels out enuf. each spacer with the lugs of their own cost about 200 bucks for a set plus shipping from japan. btw, why not just go with getting longer lugs? I have put longer lugs on 240's so that they could run 3 spacers at the same time hehe


P.S. any 5 bolt X 114.3 spacer will do.

Eibach just came out with a line of spacers that just might fit.
I think either Tire Rack or Discount Tire has them - you might want to contact them for info.

Look for something 20mm thick or more.
